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.
