title: The use of tacrine (THA) and succinylcholine compared with alcuronium during laparoscopy.
abstract: Either tacrine (THA) with succinylcholine or alcuronium was used on a randomized basis for laparoscopic procedures in twenty young females. The technique using THA with succinylcholine was found to be more suitable and predictable for this procedure and gave a smoother anaesthetic course, brighter recovery and minimal postoperative complications.
