Can sch used in patients once reversed with neostigmine and how long after it can be used
"The effect of succinylcholine (1 mg/kg) was prolonged from 11 to 35 minutes when it was given 5 minutes after administration of neostigmine (5 mg). Ninety minutes after neostigmine administration, butyrylcholinesterase activity will have returned to less than 50% of its baseline value."
| Timing | SCh Duration |
|---|---|
| Normal (no neostigmine) | ~11 minutes |
| Given 5 min after neostigmine | ~35 minutes (3x prolonged) |
