The 20 Best Pseudocholinesterase Deficiency Doctors in Seychelles

Pseudocholinesterase deficiency, also called butyrylcholinesterase deficiency, is a condition that is characterized by an increased sensitivity to certain substances, including the medications succinylcholine and mivacurium. These medications may be given during general anesthesia. General anesthesia is typically used during major surgeries and causes a brief period of unconsciousness. Succinylcholine and mivacurium relax the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles), including the muscles involved in breathing.
