What is
the onset of action for acetylcholinesterase inhibitors?
When single twitch height exceeds 20% of
control, neu-romuscular blockade can be quickly antagonized by
acetyl-cholinesterase inhibitors. Greater degrees of twitch height depression
require more time, occasionally as much as 30–40 minutes. When twitches are
absent on TOF stimula-tion, anticholinesterase therapy generally results in
partial paralysis and unsafe extubation conditions.
