AB Neuromuscular  blocking  drugs  (NMBDs)  interfere  with  neural  transmission  at  the  neuromuscular  junction  (NMJ).  This  effectively  produces  paralysis,  which  is  advantageous  to  facilitate  conditions  for  intubation  by  decreasing  the  tone  of  supralaryngeal  muscles,  inhibiting  spontaneous  ventilation,  improving  lung  dynamics  for  mechanical  ventilation,  and  providing  proper  skeletal  muscle  relaxation  to  optimize  surgical  conditions.
