    The effects of vecuronium 0.1 mg kg−1 on intracranial pressure, heart rate and arterial pressure were evaluated in 20 anaesthetized patients with intracranial tumours undergoing neurosurgery. Apart from a slight decrease in intracranial pressure (−4.9%; ns) which was most probably the result of a concomitant decrease (−14.9%) in central venous pressure, vecuronium 0.1mg kg−1 was without effect on either cerebral or systemic haemodynamics
