Monitoring of Neuromuscular Blockade

A neuromuscular blockage course covers the pharmacology and physiology of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), their clinical applications, and monitoring techniques. Key topics include the mechanisms of action of depolarizing and non-depolarizing NMBAs, indications for their use in anesthesia and critical care, and methods to assess neuromuscular function, such as train-of-four monitoring. The course also addresses the management of side effects, reversal agents, and considerations for specific patient populations. Practical components often involve case studies and simulations to enhance understanding of drug selection, dosing, and patient safety.
