Skeletal Muscle Relaxants and Neuromuscular Blockade
Skeletal muscle relaxants are used to induce muscle relaxation during surgeries. Neuromuscular blocking agents act at the neuromuscular junction. These drugs can either peripherally reduce muscle tone or centrally cause muscle paralysis. Different types of muscle relaxants are classified based on th
