Validation of a Muscle Relaxation Monitor

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Neuromuscular Blockade

In brief

The objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of a hydraulically coupled twitch monitor compared to the EMG twitch monitor in current use to measure the extent of neuromuscular blockade in patients undergoing general anesthesia.
