Comparison of Two Neuromuscular Monitors
Completed
- Conditions
- Neuromuscular Monitoring
- Registration Number
- NCT02350062
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Caen
- Brief Summary
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.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to recover T4/T1 > 90% 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).
