Clinical importance of plasma cholinesterase for the anaesthetist.

Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore - 1 Nov 1994

Pedersen N A, Jensen F S

Abstract excerpt

Plasma cholinesterase is a glycoprotein synthesized in the liver and is found in plasma, liver, intestinal mucosa and other tissues. Six percent to 7% of patients in most surgical populations have an abnormal plasma cholinesterase activity and about 65% of all cases of prolonged neuromuscular blockade following succinylcholine are due to genetic factors. This review focuses on the causes and clinical significance...
