متن کاملDual block following tacrine and suxamethonium.
Tacrine and suxamethonium were used to produce muscle relaxation in 29 anaesthetized patients. Relaxation was monitored with a nerve stimulator. Post-tetanic facilitation was observed in 24 patients (83 per cent). In spite of this, operating conditions were satisfactory in 26 patients. Poor operating conditions were associated with the more severe degrees of phase II block as judged by an incre...

All patients had a normal phenotype as indicated by normal dibucaine and fluoride numbers. However, the mean cholinesterase activity was lower than in the general population. There was a negative correlation between cholinesterase activity and...
