Vecuronium and phaeochromocytoma. A report of two cases using different modes of administration.
Two patients presenting for removal of phaeochromocytoma are described. Vecuronium was used to provide neuromuscular blockade by two different methods of administration: an infusion and a large bolus dose. Both gave satisfactory results and we suggest that vecuronium may be the neuromuscular blocking agent of choice for patients with phaeochromocytoma.
