[QUOTE="BobBarker, post: 1301516, member: 5775"] Hopefully, you aren't giving it IV push.. The pancuronium is used for 2 reasons. 1. Is to make the death look peaceful for those watching. Hard for the prisoner to move/jerk on potassium injection, if paralyzed with pancuronium. 2. The pancuronium is a paralytic, hence it paralyzes the diaphragm. The prisoner will die from apnea eventually, no matter if the potassium dose is ineffective or not. If the pancuronium was administered alone, the prisoner would be fully awake/aware and feel himself asphyxiate up until his death, and it would still look like a peaceful passing to people watching, other than the prisoner being blue.
