Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) and skeletal muscle relaxants (peripheral)

Screenshot 2024 04 25 152448 Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) and skeletal muscle relaxants (peripheral)

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) and skeletal muscle relaxants (peripheral) are classes of drugs used to induce muscle relaxation in surgical and critical care settings. They act at the neuromuscular junction to inhibit or block the transmission of nerve impulses from motor neurons to skeletal muscle fibres, leading to paralysis or relaxation of skeletal muscles. These … Read more

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), also known as muscle relaxants, are a class of medications used to induce muscle relaxation and temporary paralysis. They act at the neuromuscular junction, blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to muscle fibers, which can be beneficial during surgery, mechanical ventilation, and certain medical procedures. Classification NMBAs are classified into two … Read more
