rocuronium

Rocuronium is a medication used during surgeries to help relax muscles so doctors can perform procedures more easily, especially intubation (inserting a tube into the windpipe). It works by blocking signals from nerves to the muscles, causing temporary paralysis. Its effects start quickly and last for a short period, allowing smooth, controlled muscle relaxation. Once the surgery is over, other medications are used to reverse its effects, and normal muscle function returns. Rocuronium is part of a group called neuromuscular blockers and is important for ensuring patient safety and comfort during anesthesia.
