SummarySuxamethonium in a dose of 2 mg · kg-1 was compared to pancuronium in three different dosages (0.1 mg · kg-1, 0.15 mg · kg-1, 0.2 mg · kg1) for a rapid induction (crash) technique for tracheal intubation. Pancuronium 0.1 mg · kg-1 was inferior to suxamethonium, but the larger doses of pancuronium were equally satisfactory. In those instances where suxamethonium is either contraindicated or undesirable, pancuronium in a dose of 0.15 mg · kg-1 is a suitable alternative for rapid induction for tracheal intubation.RésuméNous avons comparé le pancuronium à la dose de 0.1, 0.15 et 2mg é kg-1, à la succinylcholine à la dose de 2 mg é kg-1, lorsque ces agents sont utilisés pour intubation rapide lors de ľinduction de ľanesthésie. Le pancuronium à la dose de 0.lmg é kg-1 s’est avéré inférieur à la succinylcholine, mais aux doses de 0.15 et de 0.2 mg é kg-1, il s’est avéré entièrement satisfaisant. Dans les cas où ľemploi de la succinylcholine est contre-indiqué ou indésirable, le pancuronium, à raison de 0.15 mg é kg-1 représente une alternative valable lorsqu’il est nécessaire de procéder à une intubation rapide.
