HARMLESS CUTANEOUS REACTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ATRACURIUM

A Report of 1200 Anaesthetics

D. E. ROWLANDS, F.F.A.R.C.S.,

Llandudno General Hospital, Llandudno, Gwynedd.

Present address: Plas Newydd, Penmaenmawr, Gwynedd LL34 6RH.

One hundred and fifty-one cutaneous reactions occurred during 1200 anaesthetics in which atracurium was given. The majority occurred in females less than 70 years old. Bronchospasm and serious hypotension did not occur, and it is concluded that a history of allergic response or asthma is not a contraindication to the use of atracurium.
