Assessment of the Datex Relaxograph during anaesthesia and atracurium-induced neuromuscular blockade.
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...
متن کاملNeuromuscular blockade: electromyographic and mechanical versus visual interpretation.
Anesthetists frequently provide intraoperative muscle relaxation in addition to general anesthesia. However, visual interpretation of the effect of neuromuscular blocking drugs is not always possible. This study examined two alternative methods (electromyography/electrocardiography [EMG/ECG] and mechanical/ECG) of interpreting neuromuscular blockade and compared these methods to visual interpre...
متن کاملReappearance of the train-of-four after neuromuscular blockade induced with tubocurarine, vecuronium or atracurium.
The characteristics of train-of-four recovery after atracurium or vecuronium were studied, under enflurane anaesthesia, and compared with those associated with tubocurarine-induced blockade. Ten patients each received vecuronium 0.1 mg kg-1, atracurium 0.5 mg kg-1 or tubocurarine 0.5 mg kg-1. Neuromuscular blockade was calculated as the percent depression of the first twitch, and was determined...
متن کاملOnset of vecuronium neuromuscular blockade at the hand with an arterio-venous shunt.
PURPOSE To evaluate the onset of vecuronium neuromuscular blockade in the hand with an arterio-venous shunt for haemodialysis. METHODS In 15 adult patients receiving haemodialysis for renal failure the onset of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade after 0.08 mg-kg-1 vecuronium i.v. was measured. Using train-of-four mechanomyographic monitoring, the force of contraction of the adductor po...
متن کاملRole of presynaptic acetylcholine autoreceptors at motor nerve endings on tetanic and train-of-four fade seen during a nondepolarizing neuromuscular block.
To the Editor:—We read with interest article by Jonsson et al. suggesting that nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents concentration-dependently inhibit human neuronal acetylcholine autoreceptors (nAChRs). The authors argue that the inhibition of the presynaptic 3 2 nAChR subtype plays an important role in tetanic and train-of-four fade seen during nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockade. ...
متن کاملNeuromuscular monitoring by intensive care nurses: comparison of acceleromyography and tactile assessment.
We have compared tactile assessment of the train-of-four (TOF) count and TOF ratio by nursing staff, with measurements made by a new acceleromyographic monitor, the TOF-Watch. We assessed neuromuscular block in 30 sedated intensive care patients receiving a continuous infusion of atracurium. Five nurses made a tactile assessment of neuromuscular block in each patient within a 5-min period. Each...
