Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the butyrylcholinesterase gene can lead to a prolonged effect of the neuromuscular blocking agents, succinylcholine and mivacurium. If the anaesthesiologist is not aware of this condition, it may result in insufficient respiration after tracheal extubation. However, this can be avoided with the use of objective neuromuscular monitoring if used adequately. Three case reports of prolonged effect of...
