what the risks are cholinestrase test, acetylcholinesterase, rbc, erythrocyte, cholinesterase, pseudocholinesterase, plasma cholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, serum cholinesterase, the enzymes acetylcholinesterase, rbc cholinesterase, pseudocholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, plasma cholinesterase, act to break down acetylcholine, a chemical critical, in the transmission of nerve impulses, acetylcholinesterase is found in nerve tissue, red blood cells, pseudocholinesterase is found primarily, in the liver, blood is drawn, a vein, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, around the upper arm to apply pressure, vein to swell, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in an air-tight vial, a syringe, band is removed, restore circulation, once the blood has been collected, needle is removed, puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding, in infants, young children, area is cleansed, antiseptic, punctured, a sharp needle, a lancet, blood collected, pipette, small glass tube, on a slide, onto a test strip, into a small container, a bandage applied, puncture site, any bleeding, no special preparation is necessary, infants, children, test depends on child's age, prepare child, infant test, procedure preparation, birth to 1 year, toddler test, procedure preparation, 1 to 3 years, preschooler test, procedure preparation, 3 to 6 years, schoolage test, procedure preparation, 6 to 12 years, adolescent test, procedure preparation, 12 to 18 years, the needle is inserted to draw blood, may feel moderate pain, a prick, stinging sensation, some throbbing, testing, enzymes is performed to identify exposure to a group of chemicals known, organophosphates, pesticides, chemicals inactivate cholinesterases, level of these enzymes serves, an indicator of exposure, risk of toxicity, a pseudocholinesterase level is also used, infrequently, to identify liver disease, performed, prior to anesthesia, succinylcholine, a paralyzing agent that is eliminated by these enzymes, to exclude a genetic deficiency of these enzymes, done in individuals, a family history of a prolonged drug effect, anesthesia, succinylcholine is one agent used, electroconvulsive therapy, ect, prevent a full-blown seizure, determine potential response to succinylcholine, normal value of acetylcholinesterase, pseudocholinesterase depends on the technique, determined by the laboratory performing the test, normal pseudocholinesterase values range between 8, 18 u/ml, u/ml = units per milliliter, decreased pseudocholinesterase levels seen in, congenital deficiency, poisoning, organophosphates, liver damage, acute infection, chronic malnutrition, metastasis, myocardial infarction, heart attack, obstructive jaundice, smaller decreases, pregnancy, use of oral contraceptives, risks associated, having blood drawn, slight, excessive bleeding, fainting, feeling light-headed, hematoma, blood accumulating under the skin, infection, a slight risk, the skin is broken, multiple punctures to locate veins, veins, arteries vary in size, obtaining a blood sample.
