Abstract

Tehnica anesteziei generale moderne este cea balansată cu intubație orotraheală, prin combinarea medica- mentelor ce țintesc diverși receptori. Selectarea blocantului neuromuscular optim pentru circumstanțe speci- ale, în țările cu venituri mici, reprezintă o dilemă clinică. Prezenta revistă a literaturii analizează publicațiile apărute în ultimii 5 ani, în format integral (n=14), urmărind atât blocantele neuromusculare deja cunoscute, cât și noile molecule testate în practica clinică, atât prin prisma celor 10 caracteristici farmaco-fiziologice ale blo- cantului neuromuscular ideal, cât și prin filiera modificatorilor clinici contextuali. Progresele în acest domeniu farmacologic sunt deosebit de importante, însă se pare că se mai lasă așteptate.
