    AbstractThe effects of precurarization on blood pressure and heart rate increases during laryngoscopy and intubation were studied in 60 surgical patients, who were randomly allocated to four groups, receiving as a pretreatment d-tubocurarine (0.05 mg/kg), alcuronium (0.03 mk/kg) , pancuronium (0.008 mg/kg) or saline in a double-blind fashion. d-Tubocurarine and alcuronium pretreatments seemed to attenuate the blood pressure increase during laryngoscopy and intubation under suxamethonium. Moreover, d-tubocurarine pretreatment protected effectively against high blood-pressure increases. Heart-rate increases were of the same magnitude in all the pretreated groups. d-Tubocurarine pretreatment abolished suxamethonium-induced fasciculations completely, whereas alcuronium pretreatment gave protection in 93% and pancuronium pretreatment in 43% of patients.
