Abstract
We studied the contribution of pancuronium to anesthetic requirement in man by comparing MAC for halothane alone in 18 patients, with that after intravenous administration of pancuronium, 0.1 mg/kg, in 17 patients. In each group, movement was observed in limbs isolated from the circulation by tourniquet. In patients receiving pancuronium, halothane MAC was 0.55%, whereas the control value was 0.73%. Thus pancuronium reduces halothane MAC by 25%.Entities:
