متن کاملAutomatic control of neuromuscular block with atracurium.
We have developed and tested a system for providing automatic control of neuromuscular block with atracurium. The degree of neuromuscular block was monitored in the small muscles of the hand using a Datex Relaxograph, and the signal was used as the controlled variable for a proportional plus integral controller. A preloaded integral was used to shorten the period of stabilization. The system wa...
