Pancuronium and histamine release

Pancuronium and histamine release

R I Bodman. Can Anaesth Soc J. 1978 Jan.

Abstract

Both d-tubocurarine and pancuronium release histamine in the skin: both have been shown to cause bronchospasm after intravenous injection. It is unlikely that skin testing with either drug will detect an individual susceptibility to bronchospasm, except as a non-specific test for atopy.
