DIAZEPAM (VALIUM) AS A MUSCLE RELAXANT DURING GENERAL ANAESTHESIA: A PILOT STUDY

A. R. HUNTER

Department of Anaesthetics, The Royal Infirmary Manchester, England

Diazepam (Valium) was given to 13 patients during nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane anaesthesia. Abdominal relaxation was not regularly produced and the amount of tubocurarine required subsequently to produce relaxation was the same as required in patients who had not had diazepam. The drug produced central respiratory depression affecting tidal volume only. It tended to lower the blood pressure.
