Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Mask ventilation could improve after administration of muscle relaxants if there is a functional obstruction of the airway, such as laryngospasm, vocal cord closure or opioid-induced muscle rigidity. On the other hand, muscle relaxants could worsen mask ventilation because they induce
