Neostigmine reversal of D-tubocurarine and pancuronium bromide combinations in man.

This study measured the neostigmine reversal of a non-depolarizing block in 17 patients, each given d-tubocurarine and pancuronium bromide in an alternating sequence. Reversal times were similar to those previously reported for pancuronium bromide alone. It is concluded that the anaesthetist may alternate between d-tubocurarine and pancuronium bromide without fear of difficulty with neostigmine reversal.
