Comparison of extradural and intravenous diamorphine as a supplement to extradural bupivacaine.

abstract：:Dose response curves were constructed for edrophonium and neostigmine when used to antagonise pancuronium, 0.07 mg/kg during thiopentone-nitrous oxide-halothane anaesthesia. The antagonist was given when 10% twitch height had been restored and the effect was measured 10 minutes later. Recoveries to 50% and 90% twitch ...
