What are the attitudes and practices of anaesthetists in Australia and New Zealand regarding neuromuscular blockade monitoring?
There is a significant gap between recommended practice and actual clinical use of objective neuromuscular blockade monitoring among anaesthetists in Australia and New Zealand.
Phillips et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Neuromuscular blockade management (n=678). Neuromuscular blockade monitoring practices was evaluated on Attitudes and practice relating to the management of neuromuscular blockade monitoring. A survey of 678 anaesthetists found that only 17% routinely used objective neuromuscular monitoring and 25% correctly identified quantitative criteria for safe extubation.
