TOF-tube, a new protection for acceleromyography, compared with the TOF-Guard/TOF-Watch arm board.

摘要: Neuromuscular blockade monitoring at the adductor pollicis has become easier using acceleromyography. In order to guarantee a reliable analysis of its acceleration, thumb movement be free and protected from external influences. To this end, we describe here-in two hand fixation- protection-devices for use with After bolus 0.3 mg/kg rocuronium, compared acceleromyography data obtained simultaneously on both hands with, one side, cumbersome TOF-Guard/TOF-Watch arm board, smaller handier TOF-tube other. Results showed little differences between devices. Yet, short clinically irrelevant delay was observed during recovery. This probably caused by difference in position repositioning technique. conclusion, more convenient can used as well board daily clinical practice.
