Prolongation of pancuronium neuromuscular blockade by clindamycin and magnesium

Author(s): Sloan PA, Rasul M

Abstract

We report a prolonged neuromuscular block with the nondepolarizing muscle relaxant rapacuronium in the presence of clindamycin. Even when using "short-acting" muscle relaxants, the anesthesiologist must routinely monitor the neuromuscular function.
