In this episode, we examine a range of CNS medications essential for various clinical applications, including neuromuscular blocking agents like succinylcholine and vecuronium, muscle relaxants such as diazepam and baclofen, and the muscarinic agents bethanechol and oxybutynin. We’ll discuss their pharmacological actions, therapeutic uses, complications, and critical nursing interventions, from managing spasticity in conditions like cerebral palsy to controlling muscle relaxation during anesthesia. Tune in to explore how these agents support safe and effective patient care across diverse medical scenarios.
