Muscle relaxants; their use and abuse in anesthesia.

Probably the most widely used anesthetic today is the intravenous-inhalant-relaxant combination. The relaxant drugs are the key to this combination. Lack of knowledge of the pharmacology of these drugs, their effect on circulation and respiration and of the physiology of respiration can seriously abuse and impair the evident value of this method. It should not be used routinely to the exclusion of equally valuable techniques that might serve better in some circumstances.
