Improving neuromuscular monitoring and reducing residual neuromuscular blockade via e-learning: A multicentre interrupted time-series study (INVERT study). [PDF]
Neuromuscular monitoring should be applied routinely to avoid residual neuromuscular block. However, anaesthetists often refrain from applying it, even when the equipment is available.

Precision of electromyography according to the calibration approach of neuromuscular monitoring: a randomised prospective agreement study. [PDF]
Anaesthesia providers often complain that quantitative neuromuscular monitoring does not accurately assess neuromuscular function, a problem that can be mitigated by appropriate calibration.

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 ...

Methods for Clinical Monitoring of Neuromuscular Transmission in Anesthesiology – A Review
The administration of general anesthesia is a crucial aspect of surgery. However, it can pose significant risks to patients, such as respiratory depression and prolonged neuromuscular blockade.

Incorrect monitoring settings can mimic residual neuromuscular blockade: A case report
Sugammadex reliably reverses rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade by forming a 1:1 complex with rocuronium; however, incomplete or recurrent blockade can still occur.
