Descriptor bloqueantes neuromusculares
Entry term(s) bloqueador neuromuscular
bloqueante neuromuscular
Scope note: Drogas que interrumpen la transmisión de los impulsos nerviosos en la unión neuromuscular esquelética. Pueden ser de dos tipos, competitivos, bloqueadores estabilizantes (AGENTES NEUROMUSCULARES NO-DESPOLARIZANTES), o agentes despolarizantes no competitivos (AGENTES NEUROMUSCULARES DESPOLARIZANTES). Ambos impiden que la acetilcolina genere la contracción muscular y se utilizan como adyuvantes de la anestesia, como relajantes durante el electrochoque, en estados convulsivos, etc.

Scope note: Drugs that interrupt transmission of nerve impulses at the skeletal neuromuscular junction. They can be of two types, competitive, stabilizing blockers (NEUROMUSCULAR NONDEPOLARIZING AGENTS) or noncompetitive, depolarizing agents (NEUROMUSCULAR DEPOLARIZING AGENTS). Both prevent acetylcholine from triggering the muscle contraction and they are used as anesthesia adjuvants, as relaxants during electroshock, in convulsive states, etc.
