Neuromuscular blockade is used in the operating room and in the intensive care unit. While in the operating room, almost every patient undergoing general anesthesia receives neuromuscular blocking agents, in the intensive care unit setting, curarization is reserved only to some patients.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2002
In summary, with proper vigilance, neuromuscular blocking agents can be used safely in anesthetized equine patients to optimize conditions for certain surgical procedures. By appropriate use of neuromuscular monitoring techniques and reversal agents, residual blockade and muscle weakness should be avoided, allowing the horse to recover to standing ...

LITHIUM CARBONATE AND NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS
Survey of Anesthesiology, 1977The effects of lithium carbonate on the responses to five neuromuscular blocking agents were evaluated in dogs anesthetized with halothane (1 per cent) and N2O (60 per cent) in O2. Latency (time from first twitch-height depression to maximal blockade), maximal twitch-height depression, and times to return to 50 per cent and 100 per cent control twitch ...

On logical grounds, the term “neuromuscular-blocking agent” might be applied to any drug, the primary action of which is to interrupt neuromuscular transmission. This chapter discusses those drugs of which the primary site of action is the postjunctional motor endplate cholinoceptors and drugs that are used as muscle relaxants in anaesthetic practice ...

Many drugs used for induction or maintenance of anaesthesia provide a degree of skeletal muscle relaxation, but in general this is only mild to moderate at a surgical plane of anaesthesia. This chapter looks at different ways to achieve more profound muscle relaxation, neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) and their mechanism, monitoring the ...

Disadvantages of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1992Neuromuscular blocking agents have few indications and significant contraindications or problems associated with their use. The need for controlled ventilation and the difficulties of monitoring anesthetic depth when using neuromuscular blocking agents are overriding factors that mitigate against their routine use.

Neuromuscular Blocking Agents in ARDS
New England Journal of Medicine, 2010In this issue of the Journal, Papazian and colleagues1 present intriguing results of their study examining neuromuscular blockade in patients with severe, early acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The investigators randomly assigned 340 patients to receive the neuromuscular blocking agent cisatracurium or placebo for a period of 48 hours.

Neuromuscular blocking agents have, perhaps, the most fascinating history among the drugs used in anesthesiology and intensive care. For centuries, South American aborigines had used curare to hunt animals before Claude Bernard showed in 1850 that these drugs act peripherally, blocking conduction where motor nerves meet the muscle.1 These historical ...

Reactions Weekly, 2012
The effect of different antiepileptic drugs on the pharmacokinetics of various neuromuscular blocking agents including atracurium, cisatracurium, doxacurium, mivacurium, pancuronium, pipecuronium, rapacuronium, rocuronium and vecuronium are described. Also, potential pharmacodynamic interactions are highlighted.
