Brief Summary:
Background: Neuromuscular monitoring plays a critical role in reducing postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade (PRNB), a significant risk factor for respiratory complications. Despite the availability of various monitoring techniques, the validation of newer devices remains an ongoing challenge. This study compares the performance of the electromyography (EMG)-based Tetragraph neuromuscular monitor with the gold standard mechanomyography (MMG) device, focusing on their accuracy and reliability in clinical settings.
Methods: Twenty cases were conducted during general surgeries requiring neuromuscular relaxation. Ulnar nerve was stimulated via the Tetragraph which detected the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of adductor pollicis muscle. Simultaneously on the same arm the isometric force of the same stimulated muscle was registrated by the MMG and displayed in the Labchart 8 program. Bland-Altman analysis was used to describe the agreement between devices during distinct phases of neuromuscular blockade. The primary endpoint of the study was the comparison of TOF values of MMG and EMG during induction. In recovery, two groups were made from TOFRs: below and above the recommended muscle recovery to exclude PRNB (TOFR≥90%) (Fuchs-Buder 2023). Additionally, in deeper neuromuscular blockade Train-of-Four Count (TOFC), and Post-Tetanic Count (PTC) values were also analysed.
