Abstract
Two of the factors contributing to the lack of correlation between biochemical parameters and the sensitivity of patients to suxamethonium are shown to result from the reaction temperature employed in the analytical procedure. It is also shown that this cannot be remedied without losing the ability to categorize precisely the cholinesterase phenotype.
