The relationship between twitch depression and twitch fade during neuromuscular block produced by vecuronium: correlation with the release of acetylcholine

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Train-of-four stimulation pattern following the administration of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs reveals fade on successive contractions. Fade is caused by the release of fewer acetylcholine molecules by the fourth (A&...
