Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Agents

open access: yes, 2017
Neuromuscular blocking medications are an important part of the anesthetic management of many patients undergoing surgery. These drugs act at the neuromuscular junction on postsynaptic acetylcholine receptors. Muscle relaxants can be divided into depolarizing and nondepolarizing categories. Succinylcholine is the only depolarizing neuromuscular blocker

Prolonged paralysis due to nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents and corticosteroids

open access: yesMuscle and Nerve, 1994
AbstractThe long‐term use of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (ND‐NMBA) has recently been implicated as a cause of prolonged muscle weakness, although the site of the lesion and the predisposing factors have been unclear. We report 3 patients (age 37–52 years) with acute respiratory insufficiency who developed prolonged weakness following ...

Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Agents, Reversal, and Risk of Postoperative Pneumonia

open access: yesAnesthesiology, 2016
Abstract Background Residual postoperative paralysis from nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) is a known problem. This paralysis has been associated with impaired respiratory function, but the clinical significance remains unclear.

Interaction Between Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and Inhalational Anesthetics

open access: yesAnesthesia & Analgesia, 1989
Although many studies have presented data based on administration of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents to patients given inhalation anesthesia for 30-45 min, no data exist on the interaction in a clinical situation where the relaxant is administered immediately after the start of anesthesia.

An analytical pharmacodynamic model for nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, 1981
A pharmacodynamic model for nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) is developed and tested with different sets of data (NMBA plasma concentration and time evolution of muscular paralysis). This model takes into account the binding of NMBA to the cholinergic motor endplate receptors and thus permits estimation of the apparent equilibrium ...
