Historical and Physiological Aspects of Muscle Relaxation and Application in Medical Practice

Abstract

The introduction of muscle relaxants into clinical practice has made it possible to revise the fundamental foundations of anesthesiology and greatly facilitated surgical interventions. It is important to note that the use of muscle relaxants is not limited to anesthetic management. In intensive care units, NUT-blocking drugs are used during tracheal intubation, to synchronize patients with an artificial lung ventilator, during invasive manipulations (for example, fibrobronchoscopy, lumbar puncture, tracheostomy), during intrahospital transportation of patients for diagnostic studies.
