All of the following statements about neuromuscular blockage produced by succinylcholine are true, Except–

A
No fade on train of four stimulation
B
Fade on tetanic stimulation
C
No post tetanic facilitation
D
Train of four ratio > 0.4
High-Yield Explanation
Fade on tetanic stimulation is a feature of Non-depolarizing blockers. Succinylcholine characteristically produces a depolarizing neuromuscular block. Depolarizing neuromuscular blockage is characterized by no fade on the train of four or tetanic stimulation, no post-tetanic facilitation and a high train of four ratios>0.7 (>0.4). Fade on tetanic stimulation is a characteristic feature of non-depolarizing blockage although it may be seen with prolonged administration of succinylcholine as phase II block supervenes.
