A. False. There is no fade with depolarizing NMBs.

B. False. In the premixed solution there is 2.5 mg neostigmine and 0.5 mg glycopyrrolate per ml. The recommended dose of neostigmine is 0.05 mg/kg, i.e. in this case 2.5 mg, which would be mixed with 0.5 mg glycopyrrolate.

C. True. Atracurium is more likely to release histamine, which may cause an increase in heart rate.

D. False. Succinylcholine is metabolized very rapidly and is not reversed by neostigmine.

E. True. Hofmann degradation of atracurium is spontaneous and non-enzymatic; for this reason it is a good choice in hepatic or renal failure.
