title: Hemodynamic effects of vecuronium in patients with coronary artery disease.
abstract: The hemodynamic effects of vecuronium 0.2 mg/kg were investigated in 11 patients with coronary artery disease. Vecuronium, at a dose double the ED90, produced 90% neuromuscular block in a mean time of 163 +/- 7 s, and was not associated with any significant hemodynamic changes. The results suggest that vecuronium can safely be used in cardiac patients.
