1. What is Rocuronio Tamarang and what is it used for
Rocuronio Tamarang belongs to a group of medications called muscle relaxants.Muscle relaxants are used during an operation as part of a general anesthesia.When undergoing an operation, your muscles must be completely relaxed. This makes it easier for the surgeon to perform the operation. Normally, nerves send messages to muscles through impulses. Rocuronio Tamarang acts by blocking these impulses so that your muscles relax.Because your respiratory muscles also relax, you will need assistance with breathing (artificial ventilation) during and after the operation until you can breathe on your own again.
During the operation, your anesthesiologist will control the effect of the muscle relaxant and, if necessary, give you more. At the end of the surgery, the effects of the medication will be allowed to wear off, and you will begin breathing on your own. Sometimes, the anesthesiologist will give you another medication to help speed up this process.
Rocuronio Tamarang can also be used in the Intensive Care Unit for short-term use to keep your muscles relaxed.
