Why the study?

Does assessing neuromuscular blockade using acceleromyography before emergence from anesthesia reduce measurement variability?

Population

20 patients under general anesthesia (propofol, sufentanil, rocuronium, and sevoflurane)

Design

Implication

Acceleromyography to assess neuromuscular blockade should be performed before emergence from anesthesia to ensure less variable measurements and complete recovery.

Structured PICO

Does assessing neuromuscular blockade using acceleromyography before emergence from anesthesia reduce measurement variability?

Population

20 patients under general anesthesia (propofol, sufentanil, rocuronium, and sevoflurane)

Intervention

Acceleromyography (TOF-Watch SX) to stimulate the ulnar nerve and record evoked thumb responses before emergence from anesthesia

Outcome

Train-of-four ratio variability (bias, precision, and limits of agreement)surrogate

Acceleromyography to assess neuromuscular blockade should be performed before emergence from anesthesia to ensure less variable measurements and complete recovery.
