Summary Introduction

Neuromuscular blocking drugs are high alert drugs because improper use of these drugs leads to death or injury. Administration of these drugs without placing proper ventilation leads to the death of the patients. Neuromuscular blocking agents interfere with the transmission of acetylcholine. In normal conditions, the acetylcholine passes the neuromuscular junction and postsynaptic receptors. Then the acetylcholine binds to postsynaptic receptors to move sodium ions into the muscle cells and potassium ions move out of the muscle cells.
