Summary

The staircase phenomenon could have repercussions on the onset and recovery time following administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent. The investigators aim to assess the magnitude of the staircase phenomenon and its impact on various aspects of neuromuscular blockade with a randomized controlled double blind trial.

Conditions

• Neuromuscular Blockade Monitoring

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Tetanus stabilization of baseline	Administering a Tetanic stimulus before baseline stabilization shortens the stabilization period of baseline of a neuromuscular block monitor. This acts on the baseline value
