Serum cholinesterase: effect on the action of suxamethonium following administration to a patient with cholinesterase deficiency. 1977

F T Schuh

Purified serum cholinesterase 90 mg was administered to a patient with cholinesterase deficiency. The effect on the action of suxamethonium was studied. The half-life (44.7 h), time constant (64.5 h), rate constant (0.0155 h-1) and distribution volume (2740 ml) of the cholinesterase activity were determined.

D013390 Succinylcholine A quaternary skeletal muscle relaxant usually used in the form of its bromide, chloride, or iodide. It is a depolarizing relaxant, acting in about 30 seconds and with a duration of effect averaging three to five minutes. Succinylcholine is used in surgical, anesthetic, and other procedures in which a brief period of muscle relaxation is called for.
