Abstract

The degree, duration of and recovery from neuromuscular blockade induced by atracurium in a patient with myasthenia gravis were monitored and recorded using the evoked compound muscle action potentials (EMG). The anaesthetic and perioperative management were simplified by the use of this technique. The significance of the behaviour of atracurium is discussed.
