title: Prolonged neuromuscular blockade following vecuronium. A case report.
abstract: Vecuronium was used to provide muscle relaxation in a patient who subsequently developed prolonged neuromuscular blockade (8 h) after anaesthesia. The aetiology of this condition, and the possible role of vecuronium, are discussed.
