ANAESTHESIA"* HAS COME A LONG WAY... J ...SO HAS REVERSAL In recent years, many advances have been made in the field of anaesthesia, including reversal of residual neuromuscular blockade. A. H. Robins has been a major contributor to this area with Robinul. As an anticholinergic agent Robinul provides significant advantages over atropine: less initial tachycardia', better protection against the peripheral muscarinic effects of neostigmine 1 , and a better quality of recovery 2 . At reversal, when administered simultaneously with neostigmine, Robinul is associated with greater cardiostability than separate injections 3 . ROBINUL- NEOSTIGMINE injection contains standard doses of Robinul and neostigmine in a 1ml ampoule, provides dependable and convenient reversal of residual neuromuscular blockade, and contributes further towards improvements in anaesthesia.
