title: Observations with norcuron (pharmaceutical works of Gedeon Richter, Budapest, Hungary) injection.
abstract: Vecuronium bromide (Norcuron) has been used as an intubation and surgical muscle relaxant besides the use of different types of anaesthesia in the course of 230 gynaecological operations. With a single or repeated drug dose complete muscular relaxation could be assured during operation of 25-60-minute duration. In general the clinical muscle relaxant action lasted for about 30 minutes. Norcuron allowed to perform intubation within 40-120 sec. The drug could be combined with anaesthetics without risk. Cardiovascular unwanted effects or other after-effects did not occur. According to the author-s opinion, as a neuromuscular blocker of a short to medium duration of action, Norcuron is a long-needed drug in Hungarain anaesthesiological practice.
