Resistance to non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents
The authors experienced three cases of the resistance to the nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), rocuronium. There are many factors that affect NMBAs such as steroid, endocrine or autoimmune diseases which are thyroid disease, parathyroid disease, myasthenia gravis and etc., and anticonvulsant medication.
