Monitoring neuromuscular blockade [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 1987
Summary A simple and inexpensive force transducer made from a stainless steel table knife is described. Construction is straightforward and utilises strain gauges that are readily available. Amongst its attributes are lightness, ease of application, low sensitivity to postural changes and linearity over extended periods of time.

Early Clinical, Imaging, and Pathological Characteristics of SRPK3/TTN‐Digenic Myopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy was recently established as a skeletal muscle myopathy caused by digenic inheritance. This study characterizes the early clinical presentation of SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy in one previously reported and seven newly identified pediatric patients.

Diaphragm ultrasonography as a monitor in assessing antagonistic effect of sugammadex on rocuronium in patients with Child-Pugh grades A and B

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundAlthough diaphragm ultrasound can be used for detecting residual neuromuscular blockade post-surgery, there exists notable dearth in contemporary research exploring the correlation between preoperative Child-Pugh classification and the ...

Long‐Term Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy—A 10‐Year Follow Up Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) is a rare but potentially treatable cause of severe autonomic failure. Evidence guiding long‐term immunotherapy, treatment sequencing, and residual autonomic impairment is limited. We evaluated long‐term treatment response, residual autonomic dysfunction, and relapse patterns in patients with

ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC MONITORING OF NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCK

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1981
Neuromuscular blocking agents are widely used in anaesthesia, and a simple quantitative method of monitoring their effects is desirable. This paper describes a new instrument which has been developed for electromyographic monitoring of neuromuscular block by a non-invasive technique which is both reliable and easy to use. The median nerve is stimulated

Onasemnogene Abeparvovec in Patients With SMA: Interim Results of the RESTORE Registry in Japan

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective There are limited real‐world data regarding the safety and effectiveness of onasemnogene abeparvovec (OA; Zolgensma) infusion, a one‐time gene replacement therapy, for Japanese patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). We aimed to improve understanding of the real‐world outcomes for OA in Japan.

Mechanism-Based Modeling of Neuromuscular Monitoring Measures During General Anesthesia

IEEE Access
This study presents a mechanism-based model of neuromuscular transmission that incorporates the effects of Non-depolarizing Neuromuscular Blockers (NDNBs) used in general anesthesia. NDNBs act on acetylcholine receptors at both the pre- and post-synaptic

Portable Breathing Monitoring With Phase‐Resolved Airflow Dynamics Enabled by a Dual‐Response Flexible PZT Sensor

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A portable respiratory monitoring device based on a flexible PZT sensor captures pressure‐ and temperature‐related airflow responses in a single waveform. Polarity‐opposed piezoelectric and pyroelectric components generate a narrow transient spike and a broad quasi‐steady peak during both inhalation and exhalation. This dual‐component structure enables

Dose–Response Evaluation of Sugammadex for Reversal of Deep Rocuronium-Induced Neuromuscular Block in Cats

Veterinary Sciences
Background: Sugammadex is a selective γ-cyclodextrin compound that encapsulates steroidal neuromuscular blocking agents such as rocuronium, allowing rapid and predictable recovery from neuromuscular block (NMB).

Is lower-dose sugammadex a cost-saving strategy for reversal of deep neuromuscular block? Facts and fiction

BMC Anesthesiology, 2018
Background Sugammadex, a γ-cyclodextrin derivative, belongs to a new class of selective relaxant binding agents. Sugammadex was approved 10-years ago by the European medicines agency and today is used in clinical anesthesia and emergency medicine ...
