title: A comparative study of the orbicularis oculi muscle to the adductor pollicis muscle during vecuronium neuromuscular blockade.
abstract: This study compared the orbicularis oculi muscle to the adductor pollicis muscle during vecuronium blockade. The orbicularis oculi muscle was found to be more resistant to and recovered from vecuronium neuromuscular blockade faster than the adductor pollicis muscle. Thus, caution should be utilized when assessing neuromuscular block with the orbicularis oculi muscle.
