Train‐of‐Four: To Use or Not to Use

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 1995
A pattern of nerve stimulation called train‐of‐four (TOF) is frequently used to monitor therapy with nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents in patients treated in intensive care units. Based on our experience with TOF monitoring in several critically ill patients, we believe its application as an indicator of neuromuscular blockade may be ...

Train of Four Responses in Paretic Limbs

Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology, 2009
Quadriplegic patients pose difficulty for neuromuscular monitoring owing to nonavailability of accessible normal muscle. It is known that train of four responses (T4/T1 ratio) was exaggerated in paretic limbs. However, no studies have quantified the exaggeration at different degrees of block.

Train-of-Four Test in Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2014
Comparison of T1-T4 decrement between upper and lower extremity muscles can indicate differences between recovery time from neuromuscular blockade, which may have repercussions for neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring. We investigated decrement between T1 and T4 hand and foot muscle responses on quantitative train-of-four (TOF) test.Study ...

A compressomyograph train of four monitoring device

Medical Engineering & Physics
The monitoring of the neuromuscular blockade is critical for patient's safety during and after surgery. The monitoring of neuromuscular blockade often requires the use of Train of Four (TOF) technique. During a TOF test two electrodes are attached to the ulnar nerve, and a series of four electric pulses are applied.

Accelographic Train-of-four at Near-threshold Currents

Anesthesiology, 1992
The authors evaluated train-of-four (TOF) fade, as quantified by accelography, in response to neurostimulation at currents ranging from 10 to 60 mA. This was done to determine the range of currents over which measurements of fade remain consistent. In 31 patients (ASA Physical Status 1,2, and 3), anesthesia was induced with fentanyl, midazolam, and ...
