muscle relaxant: OPSC paper discussion
like comment share welcome nice see you again. Share via WhatsApp A non-depolarizing competitive neuromuscular blocker, also known as a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent or neuromuscular blocking drug, is a type of medication used to induce muscle relaxation and temporary paralysis during surgical procedures or other medical interventions. These drugs work by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that transmits signals from nerves to muscles, leading to muscle contraction. By blocking acetylcholine, these agents prevent muscle contractions, allowing for surgical procedures that require muscle relaxation. Here's a more detailed explanation of non-depolarizing competitive neuromuscular blockers: 1. **Mechanism of Action**: Non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers compete with acetylcholine for binding to nicotinic receptors on the motor end plate of muscle fibers. Unlike depolarizing neuromuscular bloc
