Monitoring of neuromuscular function

International Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, 1987
Clinical monitoring of neuromuscular function can be accomplished by either measuring the evoked mechanical or EMG response of a skeletal muscle via an accessible motor nerve. The pattern of motor nerve stimulation varies from supramaximal single repeated stimuli at a specified frequency to tetanic stimulation, posttetanic single stimuli at the ...

Monitoring neuromuscular block: an update

Anaesthesia, 2009
Summary The first part of this article presents an update of the basic considerations of neuromuscular monitoring. It emphasises the need to assure supramaximal stimulation, to place the stimulating electrodes correctly and to use appropriate sites for nerve stimulation as well as appropriate stimulation patterns.

Der Anaesthesist, 2014
The effect of muscle relaxants varies among people and the extent, the duration and recovery from the neuromuscular block varies. Clinical tests cannot determine the effect of muscle relaxants which is only possible with neuromuscular monitoring. The relaxometry procedure measures the muscular response to electrical stimulation of the corresponding ...

Monitoring of neuromuscular blockade

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 1995
Neuromuscular blockade is accurately assessed by either mechanomyography or electromyography after single-twitch, train-of-four, double-burst or post-tetanic single-twitch stimuli. All of these patterns, except the single-twitch stimulus, have routine clinical use via manual evaluation of the ...

Masui. The Japanese journal of anesthesiology, 2008
In patients receiving a neuromuscular blocking agent, quantitative monitoring of neuromuscular function is essential. For this purpose, neuromuscular monitoring devices which provide train-of-four ratio values are necessary In the absence of a quantitative monitoring device, neuromuscular function may be evaluated with the use of a nerve stimulator ...

Monitoring and reversal of neuromuscular block

American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 1999
Methods of monitoring and reversing neuromuscular blocking agents to avoid residual neuromuscular block are described. Studies have shown that if a long-acting neuromuscular blocking agent is used during anesthesia, the frequency of residual block, regardless of the method of neuromuscular monitoring, will be at least 20%.

Neuromuscular Monitoring in the Perioperative Period

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2018
Neuromuscular monitoring devices were introduced into clinical practice in the 1970s. Qualitative neuromuscular monitors, or peripheral nerve stimulators, provide an electrical stimulus to a motor nerve and the response of corresponding muscle subjectively evaluated. A standard peripheral nerve stimulator provides several patterns of nerve stimulation,

Measurement and monitoring of neuromuscular blockade

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2002
For more than three decades, 'experts' in the clinical pharmacology of neuromuscular blocking agents have advocated routine intraoperative use of peripheral nerve stimulators as monitors of neuromuscular function. This advice is far from universally honored in practice.

Monitoring neuromuscular blockade

Baillière's Clinical Anaesthesiology, 1994
The large variability in depth and duration of neuromuscular blockade following a given dose of a neuromuscular blocking agent makes it impossible to predict its effect in an individual patient. It is obviously desirable to monitor blockade to allow drug dosage to be titrated against the individual patient's response.
