Descriptor English: Neuromuscular Blockade
Descriptor Spanish: Bloqueo Neuromuscular
Descriptor bloqueo neuromuscular
Scope note: Interrupción intencional de la transmisión en la UNIÓN NEUROMUSCULAR mediante agentes externos, generalmente agentes bloqueantes neuromusculares. Es diferente del bloqueo nervioso en el cual se interrumpe la CONDUCCIÓN NERVIOSA en vez de la transmisión neuromuscular. Se utiliza comúnmente el bloqueo neuromuscular para producir RELAJACIÓN MUSCULAR, como auxiliar de la anestesia, durante procedimientos médicos quirúrgicos y de otro tipo. También se utiliza con frecuencia como manipulación experimental en investigación básica. Hablando con propiedad, no es una anestesia, pero se agrupa aquí con las técnicas anestésicas. No se incluye aquí la transmisión neuromuscular deficiente como resultado de procesos patológicos.

Scope note: The intentional interruption of transmission at the NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION by external agents, usually neuromuscular blocking agents. It is distinguished from NERVE BLOCK in which nerve conduction (NEURAL CONDUCTION) is interrupted rather than neuromuscular transmission. Neuromuscular blockade is commonly used to produce MUSCLE RELAXATION as an adjunct to anesthesia during surgery and other medical procedures. It is also often used as an experimental manipulation in basic research. It is not strictly speaking anesthesia but is grouped here with anesthetic techniques. The failure of neuromuscular transmission as a result of pathological processes is not included here.
