Monitoring neuromuscular block: an update.
The first part of this article presents an update of the basic considerations of neuromuscular monitoring. It emphasises the need to assure supramaximal stimulation, to place the stimulating electrodes correctly and to use appropriate sites for nerve stimulation as well as appropriate stimulation patterns. The second part focuses on current developments and ongoing discussion. The authors descr...
متن کاملAcoustic monitoring of intraoperative neuromuscular block.
Standard methods for accurate intraoperative measurement of neuromuscular block are either expensive or inconvenient and are not used widely. We have evaluated a new method of monitoring neuromuscular block using a low-frequency microphone. The method is based on the phenomenon of low-frequency sound emission by contracting skeletal muscle. Acoustic monitoring (MIC) with an air-coupled micropho...
متن کاملNeuromuscular block.
Descriptions of the South American arrow poisons known as curares were reported by explorers in the 16th century, and their site of action in producing neuromuscular block was determined by Claude Bernard in the mid-19th century. Tubocurarine, the most important curare alkaloid, played a large part in experiments to determine the role of acetylcholine in neuromuscular transmission, but it was n...
متن کاملElectromyographic monitoring of facial nerve under different levels of neuromuscular blockade during middle ear microsurgery.
BACKGROUND The evoked electromyography (EMG) is frequently used to identify facial nerve in order to prevent its damage during surgeries. Partial neuromuscular blockade (NMB) has been suggested to favor EMG activity and insure patients' safety. The aim of this study was to determine an adequate level of NMB correspondent to sensible facial nerve identification by evaluating the relationship bet...
متن کاملNeuromuscular block and tourniquets.
Sir,—We are grateful for the opportunity to reply to the letter from Drs Jones and Nixon, comparing the results of their audit of postoperative extradural analgesia with our own published results. It would appear from the results of Dr Jones and colleagues that the use of extradural fentanyl—bupivacaine mixtures was associated with less hypotension and better pain relief than the diamorphine-bu...
