Neuromuscular monitoring is central to the rational use of neuromuscular blocking agents. Stimulation of a peripheral nerve by electrical or magnetic means is followed by contraction of a voluntary muscle. Single impulses may be used but more commonly impulses are given in groups.

Monitoring neuromuscular blockade
Baillière's Clinical Anaesthesiology, 1994The 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.

Monitoring neuromuscular block: an update
Anaesthesia, 2009SummaryThe 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.

Monitoring neuromuscular transmission
Current Anaesthesia & Critical Care, 1996Monitoring of neuromuscular function is described with regard to its clinical application. The need for monitoring is to determine the reversibility and safe use of the drugs that block neuromuscular transmission. Although monitoring can be complex it is simplified through understanding of the features of nerve stimulation, patterns of stimulation and ...

BACKGROUND Whether train-of-four (TOF) monitoring is more effective than clinical monitoring to guide neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unclear.

Ease of Application of Various Neuromuscular Devices for Routine Monitoring
Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2020BACKGROUND: Subjective evaluations to confirm recovery from neuromuscular blockade with a peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) is inadequate. Quantitative monitors are the only reliable method to confirm adequate recovery of neuromuscular function ...

Monitoring and reversal of neuromuscular block
American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 1999Methods 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%.

Measurement and monitoring of neuromuscular blockade
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2002For 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.
