 Paramedic Suicide with Vecuronium Bromide – A Case Report

Skeletal muscle relaxants are drugs that act peripherally at neuromuscular junction/ muscle fiber itself or centrally in the cerebrospinal axis to reduce muscle tone and/ or cause paralysis. The neuromuscular blocking agents are used primarily in conjunction with general anesthesia to provide muscle relaxation for surgery, while centrally acting muscle relaxants are used mainly for painful muscle spasms and spastic neurological conditions.
