In patients with pseudocholinesterase deficiency—either genetic or acquired—the metabolism of succinylcholine is markedly slowed, leading to prolonged apnea and paralysis after administration. Non-depolarizing agents such as rocuronium, atracurium, and vecuronium are not dependent on this enzyme for metabolism. Therefore,
