Abstrakt: Patients undergoing hysterectomy were divided into two groups, one of which was given tubocurarine and the other gallamine triethiodide as the muscle relaxant. In all other respects the anaesthetics were similar. During the course of operation those patients who were given gallamine showed significandy greater blood losses. This difference did not appear to be related to the surgeon performing the operation or to the duration of operation. It was concluded that the most likely cause was the higher heart rates, probably associated with higher cardiac outputs, in the gallamine group.
