A retrospective observational study of neuromuscular monitoring practice in 30,430 cases from six Danish hospitals. [PDF]
Timely application of objective neuromuscular monitoring can avoid residual neuromuscular blockade. We assessed the frequency of objective neuromuscular monitoring with acceleromyography and the last recorded train‐of‐four ratio in a cohort of Danish ...

Survey of neuromuscular monitoring and assessment of postoperative residual neuromuscular block in a postoperative anaesthetic care unit. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION The use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) is common during general anaesthesia. Neuromuscular monitoring with a peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) is essential to prevent postoperative residual neuromuscular block (PRNB), defined as a ...

Pro-Con Debate: Do We Need Quantitative Neuromuscular Monitoring in the Era of Sugammadex?
In this Pro-Con article, we debate the merits of using quantitative neuromuscular blockade monitoring. Consensus guidelines recommend their use to guide the administration of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockade and reversal agents.

Neuromuscular monitoring of a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; which monitoring technique is adequate? - A case report and literature review - [PDF]
Background Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTD) is a hereditary polyneuropathy associated with a life-threatening risk of pulmonary complications. Case A 61-year-old male with CMTD for 40 years was admitted for the drainage of an abscess in his left ankle.

Intraoperative Monitoring of Neuromuscular Blockade
There is a global trend of new guidelines highly recommending quantitative neuromuscular monitoring in the operating room. In fact, it is almost certain that quantitatively monitoring the depth of intraoperative muscle paralysis may permit the rational ...
