title: Update on muscle relaxants.
abstract: While our knowledge of the neuromuscular junction is increasing as a result of new experimental techniques, our understanding of neuromuscular blockade has progressed less dramatically. It is now evident, however, that some of the other concepts will have to be modified to take into account the findings of recent, simple clinical experiments.
