Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam 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.
