Mechanisms and implications in gene polymorphism mediated diverse reponses to sedatives, analgesics and muscle relaxants

Abstract excerpt

Responses to sedatives, analgesics and muscle relaxants vary among patients under general anesthesia, which could be ascribed to the disparities of clinical characteristics and genetic factors of individuals. Accumulating researches have indicated that gene polymorphisms of the receptors, transporters and metabolizing enzymes associated with anesthetics play a considerable role in their efficacy. However, a...
