| Sufentanil in combination with succinylcholine seemed to induce some slight positive inotropic effects. |
| Forty years ago it was known that impaired hydrolysis of the muscle relaxant succinylcholine by butyrylcholinesterase was inherited. |

| Dr. Jonathan Clayton of Atlanta said he was about to cancel surgeries several weeks ago until his hospital's pharmacy managed to find a supply of succinylcholine at the last minute. |
| Anesthesiologists also are concerned about the growing scarcity of a muscle relaxant called succinylcholine that is used to insert emergency breathing tubes. |
| Tracheal intubation was performed after the administration of succinylcholine intravenously. |
