Depolarising Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs

  • Chapter
Neuromuscular Junction

Abstract

Since the publication of the review by Paton and Zaimis on the “Methonium Compounds” (1952), the pharmacology of depolarising neuromuscular blocking drugs has been covered from various vantage points by a number of other authors, including Bovet (1972), Bowman (1964), Bowman and Marshall (1972), Bowman and Webb (1972), Chagas et al. (1972), Cheymol and Bourillet (1972), Foldes (1960), Foldes and Duncalf (1972), Karczmar (1967), Michelson and Zeimal (1973), Paton (1956), Cookson and Paton (1969), Thesleff and Quastel (1965), Vourc’h (1972). Because of this, the present chapter will not aim at the orthodox overall coverage, but will concentrate instead on areas of especial relevance to the actions of these drugs and particularly on certain recent developments.
