Abstract excerpt
Bambuterol (the bisdimethylcarbamate prodrug of terbutaline) is a new bronchodilator with a prolonged duration of action due to its inhibition of plasma cholinesterase during metabolism. The effect of bambuterol on suxamethonium-induced neuromuscular blockade was studied in 10 patients undergoing elective laparotomy. Thirty mg of bambuterol was given 2 h before anaesthesia, which was performed with thiopentone,...
