Suxamethonium Apnoea (Succinlycholine or Scoline Apnoea) (SA) What is it? Suxamethonium (succinylcholine) is a drug used in anaesthesia to produce relaxation of the muscles (paralysis). It is normally broken down very rapidly in the body by a substance in the blood, an enzyme called plasma cholinesterase. The effects of suxamethonium

Suxamethonium (succinylcholine) apnoea occurs when a patient has been given the muscle relaxant suxamethonium, but does not have the enzymes to metabolise it. Thus they remain paralysed for an increased length of time and cannot breathe adequately at the end of …

What is it? Suxamethonium (succinylcholine) apnoea is rare and occurs when a patient has been given this muscle relaxant prior to surgery but is incapable of metabolising the drug sufficiently rapidly. They remain paralysed and unable to breathe after the surgery is complete because they cannot regain their muscle function quickly enough.

Suxamethonium chloride (brand names Scoline and Sucostrin, among others), also known as suxamethonium or succinylcholine, or simply sux in medical abbreviation, [5] is a medication used to cause short-term paralysis as part of general anesthesia. [6] This is done to help with tracheal intubation or electroconvulsive therapy. [6]

2014年6月23日 · Suxamethonium (succinylcholine) apnoea is rare and occurs when a patient has been given this muscle relaxant prior to surgery but is incapable of metabolising the drug sufficiently rapidly. They remain paralysed and unable to breathe after the surgery is complete because they cannot regain their muscle function quickly enough.

2024年10月29日 · What is suxamethonium apnoea? Suxamethonium apnoea (SA) occurs when the body’s plasma cholinesterase enzyme, which breaks down suxamethonium, isn’t functioning properly. Normally, this enzyme works quickly, allowing muscles to recover and patients to breathe on their own shortly after the drug has been given.

With the recent introduction of sugammadex in the United States, a drug that can rapidly reverse even large amounts of rocuronium, succinylcholine should no longer be used for endotracheal intubation and its use should be limited to treating acute laryngospasm during episodes of …

2019年11月7日 · Scoline apnoea was described within a few years of clinical use of Suxamethonium due to inherited or acquired deficiency of the cholinesterase enzyme resulting in prolonged muscle relaxation. 2 Now scoline is used in prehospital and emergency intubating conditions, in pregnancy fetal distress or cord prolapse due to obvious advantages in these ...

Recombinant plant-derived butyrylcholinesterase was capable of counteracting and reversing apnea in two complementary models of lethal succinylcholine toxicity, completely preventing mortality.
