Neuromuscular Blockers

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 1999
The use of corrosive, injectable neuromuscular blockers has been a treatment option for many years; however, the more recent advent of botulinum toxin (BTX) treatment has revived interest in localized treatments. This article reviews the use of local anesthetics, alcohol, phenol, and BTX treatment for localized muscular overactivity syndromes.

Neuromuscular Blockers

2023
Abstract Neuromuscular blocking agents are used to facilitate tracheal intubation, relax abdominal muscles, maintain immobility during surgery and facilitate mechanical ventilation. Neuromuscular blockers are advantageous for airway management in the pediatric population; however, clinicians must be cautious of the age-dependent changes ...

Neuromuscular Blockers and ARDS

New England Journal of Medicine, 2010
patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) treat-ed early with cisatracurium had improved 90-day survival and an increased number of ventilator-free days. We are concerned about a number of methodologic limitations that detract from the reliability of the findings. First, considering that patients who are not paralyzed can trigger the

Drug Interactions with Neuromuscular Blockers

Drug Safety, 1996
Drugs administered to patients undergoing anaesthesia may complicate the use of the neuromuscular blockers that are given to provide good surgical conditions. The various sites of interaction include actions on motor nerve conduction and spinal reflexes, acetylcholine (ACh) synthesis, mobilisation and release, sensitivity of the motor end plate to ACh ...

A suicide with neuromuscular blocker

Zeitschrift f�r Rechtsmedizin, 1988
We experienced an autopsy case in which a 29-year-old woman committed suicide by parenteral application of a neuromuscular blocker combined with thiobarbital. These medicines were easily accessible to the victim who was an anesthesiologist in a hospital.

Analgosedation and Neuromuscular Blockers

2018
Sedation is beneficial to many restless patients but it may prolong the length of stay in the intensive care unit, prolong time on the ventilator, and have negative effects on the cardiovascular system, causing hemodynamic instability. Use of neuromuscular blockers has decreased due to better awareness of the risks.

Neuromuscular Blockers and Reversal Agents

DeckerMed Anesthesiology, 2019
Neuromuscular blocking drugs, which include depolarizing and nondepolarizing drugs, are used to facilitate intubation and provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery and in the intensive care unit. The agents differ in their mechanism, duration of action, side-effect profile, and metabolism.
