Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Succinylcholine is a neuromuscular blocker that causes paralysis by relaxing skeletal muscles. It is commonly used for intubation or surgical procedures. In small doses, it may cause initial muscle fasciculations (brief contractions) before inducing relaxation. Option B is incorrect because small doses of succinylcholine do not cause muscles to become tense. Option C is incorrect because succinylcholine is a reversible inhibitor that is metabolized by the enzyme pseudocholinesterase.
