Arrhythmias during Halothane Anesthesia I: The Influence of Atropine During Induction with Intubation

The changes in cardiac rhythm which occurred during induction of halothane‐N2O/O2 anesthesia with thiopenthal and one single dose of suxamethonium for intubation were studied in two groups of patients, one (at random) of which was given atropine intravenously 0.1 mg/10 kg 2 min before induction.
