A Double Blind Comparison of Pancuronium and D-Tubocurarine for Endotracheal Intubation

A comparison of D-tubocurarine and pancuronium is presented from the result of a double blind trial. Although the subsequent clinical anaesthetic course is similar for the two drugs, we feel there is a distinct difference in intubating conditions. Relaxation of the jaw and vocal cords allows for repeated laryngeal exposure if necessary. The speed of onset of relaxation and absence of serious side effects suggests it would be a useful addition to our non-depolarizing relaxants. We suggest this drug will find a place in the teaching of endotracheal intubation to medical students and junior residents.
