Abstract

SUMMARY Hayatin methiodide has been used as a muscle relaxant during surgery in 100 patients. This drug provided adequate relaxation for endotracheal intubation and surgery. It appeared to be about one-third as potent as tubocurarine. The duration of both these drugs was of equal magnitude in equipotent doses. The neuromuscular block produced by this drug could be completely reversed by neostigmine. It was relatively free from serious side-effects and appears to be a promising muscle relaxant.
