Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Succinylcholine (Anectine) is a neuromuscular blocker used to facilitate intubation due to its rapid onset and short duration of action. It is also used in electroconvulsive therapy to prevent muscle contractions during the procedure. It is not typically used as a muscle relaxant during surgeries like total hip replacement, craniotomy, or mitral valve replacement, where longer-acting neuromuscular blockers are preferred.
