1 Succinylcholine and mivacurium are degraded more slowly in patients with a qualitatively or quantitatively reduced plasma cholinesterase and are therefore known for inducing a prolonged postoperative apnea. Mivacurium butyrylcholinesterase Homo sapiens
2 The pathophysiology of plasma cholinesterase is reviewed including genetically determined variants and the degradation pathways of mivacurium and succinylcholine. Mivacurium butyrylcholinesterase Homo sapiens
