A case of pseudocholinesterase deficiency in the PACU.

Journal of perianesthesia nursing : official journal of the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses - 1 Aug 2007

Leadingham Camille Lynette

Abstract excerpt

A 39-year-old patient with unrecognized atypical pseudocholinesterase was given succinylcholine during the rapid-sequence induction process and subsequently had a prolonged neuromuscular blockade. The patient was reassured, sedated, and ventilated in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). The primary nursing interventions included airway clearance, communication, comfort, and patient education. Several important...
