Comparison of Two Neuromuscular Monitors

Different neuromuscular monitors may be available in the same care structure. Two different monitors are available in the investigators' institution in the operative room and the recovery room. However, these two monitors have not been compared and may not be interchangeable. Starting the monitoring with one device and continuing with another device may be inaccurate and may lead to inadequate medical decisions. The investigators therefore conducted this observational study to compare the two devices available in our institution.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients undergoing vascular surgery under general anesthesia and requiring neuromuscular blockade for intubation or surgery

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnancy or feeding
  • Any pathology or medication that may impair neuromuscular conduction or muscular response of the ulnar nerve stimulation
  • American Society of Anesthesiology [4] physical status
  • Allergy or contraindication of neuromuscular blocking agents

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to recover T4/T1 > 90%

    Time frame: Time between muscle relaxant injection and: intubation; recovery of 4 responses on the train of four (TOF); recovery of T4/T1 >40%; recovery of T4/T1>90% average 2 hours

    After muscle relaxant injection, we measure the time needed for the muscular response to disappear and to completely recover during the operation (which takes in average 2 hours).
