Comparison of Acceleromyography (AMG) and Mechanomyography (MMG) for Establishing Potency of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents

Comparison of Acceleromyography and Mechanomyography for Establishing Potency of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents, A Randomized Controlled Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 4
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (actual)

• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare two methods for neuromuscular monitoring, acceleromyography and mechanomyography for establishing the dose-response relationship and the potency of a neuromuscular blocking agent using rocuronium as an example. We hypothesized that there would be no significant difference between potencies estimated using acceleromyography and mechanomyography.

Conditions

• Neuromuscular Blockade

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	TOF-Watch SX (Acceleromyography)	Randomization of AMG to dominant or non-dominant arm. MMG at contralateral arm.
