Pseudocholinesterase deficiency manifests as prolonged motor blockade after the administration of succinylcholine. A previously unknown homozygous form of the disease, became apparent during a lumbar laminectomy seriously limiting the ability to monitor motor evoked potentials and perform electromyelography (EMG). Moreover, concerns were raised as to how the enzyme deficiency would affect the m...

متن کاملPharmacogenetics and anaesthetic drugs: Implications for perioperative practice
Pharmacogenetics seeks to elucidate the variations in individual's genetic sequences in order to better understand the differences seen in pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, and efficacy between patients. This area of research is rapidly accelerating, aided by the use of novel and more economical molecular technologies. A substantial evidence base is being generated with the hopes that in the f...
متن کاملPseudocholinesterase activity: determination and interpretation in pediatric anesthesia.
Pseudocholinesterase (PChE), also known as plasma cholinesterase, is a serine hydrolase capable of hydrolyzing esters including acetylcholine, succinylcholine, mivacurium and ester type local anesthetics such as procaine, chloroprocaine, tetracaine, cocaine and heroin. PChE is synthesized by the liver, and is found in the plasma, the pancreas, the heart and the brain. It has a serum half life o...
