Clinical evaluation of chandonium iodide as a nondepolarising muscle relaxant.
The effect of chandonium iodide (as a non-depolarising muscle relaxant) was studied in 50 patients of ASA grade I or II who were scheduled for surgery. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the dose of chandonium iodide (0.2 and 0.25 mg/kg respectively). The onset and duration of action was found to be dose dependent. Intubation characteristics were good to fair in all the patients, the reaction to intubation being either absent or mild. There was mild and transient rise in pulse and blood pressure. No allergic reaction was observed in any patient and reversal characteristics were good in all the cases.
