Clinical Use of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents
The purpose of this course is to provide intensive care, emergency, and prehospital providers with the clinical knowledge to administer neuromuscular blocking agents in a safe and effective fashion, as well as to know how such agents can be effectively monitored and, ultimately, safely and efficiently reversed. In addition, members of the public may use this course to enhance their personal knowledge of the subject matter presented.

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

1. Review the pertinent history surrounding the discovery and early administration of neuromuscular blocking agents.
2. Outline the anatomy and physiology of the neuromuscular junction.
3. Identify commonly used neuromuscular blockers.
4. Discuss the use and effects of benzylisoquinolinium nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents.
5. Describe the use and effects of amino steroid nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers.
6. Identify the crucial effects and side effects of succinylcholine, listing both relative and absolute contraindications to its use.
7. Analyze approaches to monitoring neuromuscular blockade.
8. Evaluate the effects and use of traditional agents used to reverse neuromuscular blockade.
9. Discuss the reversal agent sugammadex.
10. Analyze the role of neuromuscular blockers in various patient populations.
