I remembered Tetanus. Bzw. I was wondering if it was used there and gagled:

In many cases, the control of spasms, laryngospasm or vegetative symptomism requires sedation and respiration. In these cases, non-depolarizing muscle relaxants (e.g. vecuronium, pancuronium) can also be used.

On-label, the intensive physician Rocuronium could also use Tetanus if the patient is cramped and put into a kind of artificial coma. I could imagine that there might be such situations with various poisonings.

And pharmawiki.ch (Switzerland) writes:

Off-label Rocuronium bromide is also used for medically assisted death aid.
