Qualitative Neuromuscular Monitoring: How to Optimize the Use of a Peripheral Nerve Stimulator to Reduce the Risk of Residual Neuromuscular Blockade
This review provides recommendations for anesthesia providers who may not yet have quantitative monitoring and sugammadex available and thus are providing care within the limitations of a conventional peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) and neostigmine. In order to achieve best results, the provider needs to understand the limitations of the PNS. The PNS should be applied properly and early. All ...
متن کاملMonitoring neuromuscular blockade.
Neuromuscular-blocking agents (NMBA) have been used in clinical anesthesia for nearly 60 years. In the perioperative period, a variety of factors can influence a patient’s response to these drugs. To precisely titrate NMBAs to clinical effects in the anesthetized patient, the application of neuromuscular monitoring is essential. The use of a peripheral nerve stimulator allows the clinician to a...
متن کاملNeuromuscular Monitoring : A Review
Residual neuromuscular blockade in the postoperative period contributes to significant morbidity and possibly mortality. The incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade has been shown to decrease with the use of neuromuscular monitoring and short acting neuromuscular blocking drugs. Because of marked variation in patient's sensitivity to neuromuscular blockade, the neuromuscular function of th...
متن کاملUse of the peripheral nerve stimulator.
The author discusses various procedures for assessing the patient's degree of muscle relaxation utilizing a peripheral nerve stimulator. Based on clinical observation, a preferred method is offered. To obtain the relaxation necessary for certain surgical procedures, the usual technique is to administer a pre-calculated dose of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant. The most common method to calculat...
