This course walks Anesthesiologists through practical, real-world use of neuromuscular blocking agents—from choosing depolarizing vs. non-depolarizing drugs for intubation and surgical relaxation to understanding their pharmacology at the neuromuscular junction. You’ll review common agents (succinylcholine, rocuronium, cisatracurium, pancuronium), their indications in the OR and ICU, and the principles of safe reversal, helping you minimize residual paralysis and optimize perioperative and critical care outcomes.
