Neuromuscular Blockade - Monitoring of Neuromuscular Function
Monitoring of Neuromuscular Function
There are several reasons to monitor neuromuscular function under anesthesia:
- To facilitate timing of intubation
- To provide an objective measurement of relaxation during surgery and degree of recovery before extubation
- To titrate NMBD dosage according to patient response
- To monitor for the development of phase II block
- To permit early recognition of patients with abnormal plasma cholinesterase activity
- To prevent sequelae of residual postoperative neuromuscular blockade
