also look up

vecuronium and pancuronium

You won't use suxamethonium as it only lasts for 3-5 minutes

unless you have a cat with laryingspasm - never seen it used for this but believe it can be used for this

Used a lot in opthalmic surgery, cna be benificival in deep abdomnial surgery and some thoracic surgerys too.

If your talking about NMB's then you will need a ventilator and nerve stimulator and some good monitoring before you even start. We always have ana anethetists for these cases (we dont do optho) as they're usaually pretty sick too.

look up suxamethonium and atracurium (two NMB drugs) sux is very short acting - atracurium used more for surgery as lasts a bit longer

hope that helps a little
