Abstract

The effects of vecuronium 0.1 mg kg-1 on intracranial pressure, heart rate and arterial pressure were evaluated in 20 anaesthetized patients with intracranial tumours undergoing neurosurgery. Apart from a slight decrease in intracranial pressure (-4.9%; ns) which was most probably the result of a concomitant decrease (-14.9%) in central venous pressure, vecuronium 0.1 mg kg-1 was without effect on either cerebral or systemic haemodynamics.
