Abstract: The quantitative and qualitative aspects of the phenomenon of resistance to competitive (non-depolarizing) neuromuscular blocking agents in burn patients are described. The correlates and temporal features of this resistance are discussed, in addition to therapeutic approaches and the possible mechanisms underlying the resistance.
