Clinical pharmacology of vecuronium and atracurium
Anesthesiology.
1984 Oct.
Abstract
Vecuronium and atracurium provide addition flexibility to the clinician using neuromuscular blocking drugs. The shorter duration of action, lack of significant cardiovascular effects, and the lack of dependence on the kidney for elimination provide clinical advantages over, or alternatives to, currently available nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs.
