FASCICULATION CAUSED BY SUXAMETHONIUM AND OTHER CHOLINERGIC AGENTS

John C. Meadows

Open publisher page 18 citations

Abstract

Fasciculation caused by suxamethonium has been investigated in Man and early observations on fasciculation caused by other cholinergic agents have been reviewed. The body of evidence suggests that these agents cause fasciculation by an action on some distal part of motor nerve fibres.
