#005- Neuromuscular Blockade Pharmacology

Dive into the intricacies of neuromuscular blockade agents used in intensive care. Uncover the differences between depolarizing and non-depolarizing muscle relaxants, and how they interact with acetylcholine receptors to cause flaccid paralysis. Learn about the phases of neuromuscular blockade, and discover factors affecting the onset speed, such as dosage and patient factors. Explore mechanisms that boost the effectiveness of non-depolarizing agents, and examine the pharmacology of succinylcholine and other blockers, comparing their clinical applications.
