Clinical pharmacology of vecuronium and atracurium. 1984

R D Miller, and S M Rupp, and D M Fisher, and R Cronnelly, and M R Fahey, and Y J Sohn

Vecuronium and atracurium provide addition flexibility to the clinician using neuromuscular blocking drugs. The shorter duration of action, lack of significant cardiovascular effects, and the lack of dependence on the kidney for elimination provide clinical advantages over, or alternatives to, currently available nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs.

D009466 Neuromuscular Blocking Agents Drugs that interrupt transmission of nerve impulses at the skeletal neuromuscular junction. They can be of two types, competitive, stabilizing blockers (NEUROMUSCULAR NONDEPOLARIZING AGENTS) or noncompetitive, depolarizing agents (NEUROMUSCULAR DEPOLARIZING AGENTS). Both prevent acetylcholine from triggering the muscle contraction and they are used as anesthesia adjuvants, as relaxants during electroshock, in convulsive states, etc. Neuromuscular Blocker,Neuromuscular Blocking Agent,Neuromuscular Blockers,Agent, Neuromuscular Blocking,Agents, Neuromuscular Blocking,Blocker, Neuromuscular,Blockers, Neuromuscular,Blocking Agent, Neuromuscular,Blocking Agents, Neuromuscular
