Anti-Cholinesterases, they find widespread use in clinical medicine.
Their role in reversal of neuromuscular blockade is certainly dwindling given sugammadexes rise to post patent [can actually afford to use it] supremacy.
But if you are using atracurium, then go nuts!

Cisatracurium is one of the ten isomers found in an ampoule of Atracurium! It has been selected out as a useful, potent, predictably degrading drug with a very stable side effect profile!
Althought, it might be that, whilst Cisatracurium probably sounded like a great idea at the time... it was perhaps batting for a marketing USP that wasn't quite there..
If we were being particularly clever we could call it the R-cis-R'-cis isomer of Atracurium besilate, it is 3 times as potent as the Atracurium mix in your anaesthetic room fridge

The ubiquity of oxygen in the curriculum is directly correlated with its importance! One of many episodes that focus on the facets o knowledge needed to understand how oxygen does its thing. Today, when too much oxygen is a bad thing, how it is obtained, transported in hospitals and the negative implications of its use + some history that I know you all deeply desire!
