Effects of vecuronium and rocuronium in antagonistic laryngeal muscles and the anterior tibial muscle in the cat

Background: Adequate vocal cord paralysis and full recovery of laryngeal muscle function are important when muscle relaxants are used perioperatively. This study was designed to compare the effects of vecuronium and rocuronium at the vocal cord abductor and adductor muscles and the anterior tibial muscle in cats.
