Video from Schematic Med on YouTube

Distinguish non-depolarising (tubocurarine, atracurium, rocuronium) from depolarising (suxamethonium) neuromuscular blockers, including phase I and phase II block and reversal (anticholinesterases, sugammadex).

Why this video

This video walks through the classification of neuromuscular blockers, contrasting non-depolarising drugs with suxamethonium while detailing Phase I and Phase II block and reversal with sugammadex.

Heads up

Suxamethonium is referred to by its alternate name succinylcholine, and the video includes clinical toxicities such as malignant hyperthermia beyond basic drug differentiation.
