The clinical uses of neuromuscular blocking agents are as follows:
•To facilitate endotracheal intubation
•To provide muscle relaxation during surgery,particularly of the thorax and abdomen
•To enhance patient-ventilator synchrony
•To reduce intracranial pressure in intubated patients with uncontrolled intracranial pressure
•To reduce oxygen consumption
•To terminate convulsive status epilepticus and tetanus in patients refractory to other therapies
•To facilitate procedures or diagnostic studies
•To maintain immobility in selected patients (e.g. ,trauma patients)
