Muscle relaxants have broad application in anesthesiology. They can be used for safe intubation, preparing the patient for surgery, or improving mechanical ventilation. Muscle relaxants can be classified based on their mechanism of action into depolarizing and non-depolarizing muscle relaxants and centrally acting muscle relaxants.

Extravascular injection of neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs) can cause a neuromuscular block because of systemic absorption. Currently, there are no guidelines available on managing extravasation of NMBDs. This article reviews the available literature on extravasation of NMBDs.

The phenomena of residual curarisation and recurarisation after the use of long-acting non-depolarising neuromuscular blocking drugs such as tubocurarine and pancuronium were well recognised 60 years ago. But the incidence seemed to decline with the introduction of atracurium and vecuronium. However, recently there have been an increasing number of reports of residual and recurrent neuromuscular block.

(1) Background: Pancuronium bromide is a neuromuscular blocker used for immobilizing crocodiles that can be reversed with neostigmine. A recommended drug dose has only been established for saltwater crocodiles (), mostly based on trials in juveniles and subadults. After trialing a dose recommendation in a small cohort of nine Nile crocodiles (), we developed and applied a new dose recommendation for large adult Nile crocodiles.
