Assessment of the Datex Relaxograph during anaesthesia and atracurium-induced neuromuscular blockade.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Datex Relaxograph is a recently introduced electromyographic monitor of neuromuscular transmission. It has been assessed in patients requiring neuromuscular blockade and the results compared with those obtained simultaneously with a force transducer. There was a good correlation between the two methods of measurement for both twitch height and train-of-four ratio (correlation coefficients 0.93 and 0.97, respectively). The Datex Relaxograph proved easy to use in the clinical setting.

Comparison of the train-of-four fade profiles produced by vecuronium and atracurium.
In this double-blind study, we have allocated randomly 40 ASA I-III patients to one of four groups. After a standard anaesthetic induction, patients received vecuronium 0.08 mg kg-1 or 0.10 mg kg-1, or atracurium 0.4 mg kg-1 or 0.5 mg kg-1. Using an electromyogram (Datex Relaxograph) the train-of-four (TOF) response was measured during onset of and recovery from neuromuscular block. A greater d...
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...
متن کاملAdministration of magnesium sulphate before rocuronium: effects on speed of onset and duration of neuromuscular block.
The speeds of onset of pancuronium, atracurium and vecuronium are increased by prior administration of magnesium sulphate. A prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled, clinical study was performed to examine the effects of prior i.v. administration of magnesium sulphate 60 mg kg-1 on the neuromuscular blocking effects of rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1 during isoflurane anaesthesia. Neuromuscula...
متن کاملAre changes in the evoked electromyogram during anaesthesia without neuromuscular blocking agents caused by failure of supramaximal nerve stimulation?
The evoked electromyogram often decreases during anaesthesia in the absence of neuromuscular block. We have measured the electromyogram of the first dorsal interosseous muscle evoked by train-of-four stimulation of the ulnar nerve in 63 patients undergoing anaesthesia for minor surgery. We used Medicotest P-00-S electrodes, a Datex Relaxograph and a current sink in the stimulating leads in para...
متن کاملEffect of doxapram on neostigmine evoked antagonism of vecuronium neuromuscular block.
We have examined the effect of doxapram on neostigmine-evoked antagonism of vecuronium neuromuscular block in a double-blind study in anaesthetized patients. Neuromuscular transmission was measured with a Datex Relaxograph. The mean time to recovery of the first contraction of the train-of-four (T1) from 25% to 75% was significantly longer in the presence of doxapram (138 (SEM 21) s; n = 23) th...
