Abstract

Postanaesthetic arousal time was studied in elderly patients given either glycopyrrolate 0.01 mg kg-1 or atropine 0.02 mg kg-1 before antagonism of neuromuscular blockade. Forty patients (age greater than or equal to 65 yr) undergoing elective hip replacement were included in a double-blind study. Arousal was scored for 2 h after recovery using a modified scoring system. No difference in arousal time was found between the two groups.
