Neuromuscular monitoring and its importance in neuromuscular blockade☆

Colombian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
Introduction: The incorporation of new guidelines or strategies as part of good practices in the use of muscle relaxants is not a requirement at present in the practice of anesthesia. There are only action recommendations designed to persuade clinicians of the fact that neuromuscular monitoring is a very useful tool for the rational use of muscle ...

A surgeon′s assessment of inadequate neuromuscular antagonism in a case of prolonged neuromuscular blockade

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2013
Evaluation of the degree of neuromuscular blockade by the surgeon using clinical criteria alone is unreliable. We report a case of prolonged neuromuscular blockade lasting 5.5 h, where an additional intra-operative dose of neuromuscular relaxant was ...

Relationship between first-twitch depression and train-of-four ratio during sugammadex reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2016
BackgroundThe primary outcome of sugammadex reversal for rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block (NMB) is a train-of-four ratio (TOFR) of 0.9, not first twitch (T1) height.

Relationship between hearing function and myasthenia gravis: a contemporary review [PDF]

, 2016
There is increasing evidence of a connection between hearing function and myasthenia gravis (MG). Studies of the pathophysiological basis of this relationship suggest that acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) on outer hair cells (OHCs) play a central role. In

Analysis of the rate of force development reveals high neuromuscular fatigability in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease [PDF]

, 2023
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) induces muscle wasting and a reduction in the maximum voluntary force (MVF). Little is known about the neuromuscular fatigability in CKD patients, defined as the reduction of muscle force capacities during exercise. Neuromuscular fatigability is a crucial physical parameter of the daily living. The quantification

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 ...

Isolated forearm technique: a meta-analysis of connected consciousness during different general anaesthesia regimens [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: General anaesthesia should prevent patients from experiencing surgery, defined as connected consciousness. The isolated forearm technique (IFT) is the current gold standard for connected consciousness monitoring.

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 ...
