What effect does pancuronium have on your nervous system?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Relaxes muscles: Pancuronium is classified as a nondepolarizing muscle relaxant. It literally paralyzes skeletal muscles, meaning that a person cannot breathe or move while it is working. It does not affect other muscles such as the heart. The effects go away in time (1-2 hours), or medications can be given to reverse the effects. It must only be used by anesthesia personnel who can support breathing for the pt.

Relaxes muscles: It is an injectable skeletal muscle relaxer. It should be used only by an anesthesia provider as it causes prolonged paralysis of muscles and will stop ones breathing.
