[The use of atracurium in subjects with chronic renal insufficiency].
Atracurium has been studied in 16 patients divided into two groups, the first of which suffering from chronic renal failure. The two groups were made standard for age, weight, type of intervention and duration of intervention. Arterial pressure, heart frequency, oesophageal temperature and blood gas were monitored. A neuromuscular stimulator was used to study the neuromuscular block. No difference was found in the treatment of two groups of patients and it is concluded that no contraindication emerges for the use of atracurium in patients with chronic renal failure.
