RESUMO
A method employing six minutes of regional curarization with 0.5 mg D-tubocurarine and single fibre electromyographic measurements (SFEMG) was used in order to study the effect of an additional small dose of D-tubocurarine. The effect of the additional dose was most pronounced in terms of increased jitter, on motor end-plates with the initially highest jitter. The combination of regional curarization and SFEMG jitter recordings offers a sensitive technique for detecting mild effects of various drugs on neuromuscular transmission not detectable with decrement investigations.
