The Precision and Arm-to-Arm Variation of Mechanomyography and Acceleromyography for Monitoring of Neuromuscular Block

DenmarkStarted 2007-05

Plain-language summary

The purpose of the study is the examine the precision of acceleromyography and mechanomyography during recovery from a neuromuscular blocking agent and to examine whether there is any difference in monitoring block at the dominant or non-dominant arm. Our hypothesis is that there is no significant difference in neither the precision nor the level of block in the contralateral arms.

Inclusion Criteria: * ASA I-III * General anesthesia \>1 hour * Surgery in supine position w. possibility of monitoring the neuromuscular block at both arms (n. ulnaris stimulation/thumb response) * Written informed content Exclusion Criteria: * Neuromuscular disorders, hepatic and renal dysfunction * Medication expected to interfere with the neuromuscular blocking agent * Allergy to any medication used during anaesthesia * Body weight less or exceeding 20% of ideal body weight * Pregnancy or breastfeeding

What they're measuring
