Abstract excerpt
The significance of plasma cholinesterase (pChe) activity for the duration of action of mivacurium in phenotypically normal patients was evaluated in 35 patients during neurolept anaesthesia. The response to train-of-four nerve stimulation was recorded using a Myograph 2000. Ten patients with normal pChe (Group I) and five patients with decreased pChe activity (Group 2) were given a small test dose of mivacurium...
