Electromyographic and Acceleromyographic Monitoring in Restricted Arm Movement Surgical Setting

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Residual Neuromuscular Blockade

In brief

Researchers are comparing the ease of use and repeatability of the force vs electrical activity produced by a muscle after it has undergone nerve stimulation during a surgical procedure in which the patients' arm movement is restricted (placed under surgical drapes) in laparoscopic or robotic procedures.
