Reveals discrepancies in neuromuscular monitoring methods in pediatric patients, suggesting a need for improved accuracy.

The aim is to compare the effectiveness of EMG-based monitoring versus TOF assessments in pediatric anesthesia.
Observed a case of intraoperative neuromuscular monitoring in a pediatric patient.
Evaluated train-of-four responses qualitatively and quantitatively.
Assessed sensitivity differences of respiratory and peripheral muscles to NMBAs.
Discrepancies were noted between the electromyography monitor and peripheral nerve stimulator.
Qualitative assessments were less sensitive in detecting significant TOF fade.
Inadequate detection of neuromuscular block may increase postoperative risks.

Villalobos et al. (2026) studied this question.
