THE EFFECT OF TUBOCURARINE ON ULNAR NERVE CONDUCTION VELOCITY

The effect of tubocurarine on ulnar nerve conduction velocity.

Nerve conduction velocity was studied in the ulnar nerve of human subjects during general anaesthesia. An increase in velocity of between 1.9 and 4.8 per cent occurred following the administration of paralytic doses of tubocurarine to subjects receiving nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane anaesthesia in whom ventilation was controlled. This increase in velocity did not appear to be related to a...

Serial ulnar nerve conduction velocity measurements in normal subjects.

Interrater Repeatability of Motor Nerve Conduction Velocity of the Ulnar Nerve.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to obtain data on interrater repeatability of the motor nerve conduction velocity (NCV) of the ulnar nerve of different segments, ulnar distal motor latency (DML), and compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes. DESIGN Twenty-four healthy volunteers were examined in consecutive order. Ulnar motor NCV of different segments, ulnar DML, and CMAP am...

Effect of Dexamethasone on Preventing Tibial Nerve Conduction Velocity Loss in Tourniquet Neurepathic Rat

Introduction: Ischaemic-reperfusion nerve injury has been suggested as the mechanism for post-tourniquet limb paralysis. As dexamethasone (Dex) has been shown to Prevent ischaemic-reperfusion process in some tissues, we tested the hypothesis that this drug would reduce tourniquet induced nerve injury. Methods: 36 male Wistar rats (200-250 gr) were chosen and divided randomly into 6 equal grou...

Motor nerve conduction velocity studies of the ulnar nerve in patients with leprosy.

Many of the disabling fea tures of leprosy ~re caused by peripheral nerve impairment involving both sensory and motor modalities. Pathologic changes in an affected nerve are usually seen at a site where the nerve passes over a bone or joint, or where the nerve is superficial. In the arm the most commonly involved nerves, in order of frequency, are the ulnar at the elbow and the median at the wr...
