Neuromuscular Blocking Agents - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
2024年6月8日 · Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are most effective when administered intravenously or intramuscularly. They are poorly absorbed if administered orally. The administration route is determined by the patient's clinical condition, desired action speed, and clinical effect duration.
Neuromuscular-blocking drug - Wikipedia
Neuromuscular-blocking drugs, or Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), block transmission at the neuromuscular junction, [1] causing paralysis of the affected skeletal muscles. This is accomplished via their action on the post-synaptic acetylcholine (Nm) receptors.
List of Neuromuscular blocking agents - Drugs.com
What are Neuromuscular blocking agents? Neuromuscular blocking agents are potent muscle relaxants typically only used during surgery to prevent muscle movement. They are structurally related to acetylcholine (the main neurotransmitter in the body) and they cause muscle relaxation by binding to acetylcholine receptors postsynaptically (which ...
Neuromuscular Blockade - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
2023年11月13日 · Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) come in two forms: depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (eg, succinylcholine) and nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (eg, rocuronium, vecuronium, atracurium, cisatracurium, mivacurium).
Neuromuscular Blocking Agents: Use and Controversy in the …
2017年1月19日 · Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) play an important role in the management of a large number of hospital patients. In addition to their routine use in surgical anesthesia, NMBAs may be valuable in many new and evolving critical care situations.
Clinical use of neuromuscular blocking agents in anesthesia
Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are usually administered during anesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and/or to improve surgical conditions. NMBAs may decrease the incidence of hoarseness and vocal cord injuries during intubation, and can facilitate mechanical ventilation in patients with poor lung compliance [ 1-5 ].
Neuromuscular Blocking Agents: An Overview (2024)
2024年11月19日 · Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are a class of drugs that prevent nerve impulses from reaching muscles, effectively causing temporary paralysis of the skeletal muscles. These agents are commonly used during surgeries and in critical care settings to facilitate intubation and mechanical ventilation , ensure muscle relaxation, and improve ...
Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blockers - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
2024年10月18日 · Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers (nNMBs) are primarily administered to facilitate endotracheal intubation and serve as adjuvant therapy during the perioperative maintenance of anesthesia and care for critically ill patients.
Neuromuscular Blocking Agents General Statement (Monograph) - Drugs.com
Neuromuscular blocking agents are drugs that cause skeletal muscle relaxation and are classified as depolarizing or nondepolarizing (competitive) agents. Neuromuscular blocking agents are used to produce skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery after general anesthesia has been induced.
Neuromuscular blocking agents in the intensive care unit - PMC
Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) are a controversial therapeutic option in the approach to the critically ill patient. They are not innocuous, and the available evidence does not support their routine use in the intensive care unit.
