Summary

Acceleromyography (AMG) is the most wide spread used method to assess neuromuscular block during anesthesia. However AMG is known to be inaccurate when compared to the gold standard in neuromuscular transmission monitoring, electromyography (EMG). Furthermore when the patients arms require to be positioned next to the body and beneath surgical drapes, AMG measurements are often hindered and inaccurate. The TOF cuff is a new device which measures neuromuscular blockade at the upper arm with a blood pressure cuff. It overcomes the previously mentioned disadvantages of AMG. However, it validity compared to EMG and AMG has not yet fully been investigated. This study aims to compare the bias, limits of agreement and precision of the Train-of-Four cuff relative to AMG and EMG during recovery of moderate and deep neuromuscular block in patients with normal body mass index and morbidly obese patients.

Conditions

Interventions

TypeNameDescription
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTMeasurements of the level of neuromuscular blockadeStudy participant were not prospectively exposed to an intervention. Administration of a moderate or deep neuromuscular blockade is at the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist. Study participants only received diagnostic non-invasive monitoring. In routine clinical care the neuromuscular blockade is monitored non-invasively by either acceleromyography, electromyography or by the TOF-Cuff. In this study participants were monitored by the monitors and were not exposed to any additional risk and no effect of an intervention was assessed in this study.
