Paired Assessment of Two Electromyographic Neuromuscular Monitors: Stimpod NMX450X Versus Datex-Ohmeda E-NMT
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
After anesthesia is induced, 2 EMG TOFF devices will be placed on the patients arms, one on the right arm, the other on the left. There will be a randomization per dominant hand and nondominant hand for the placing of the devices. The devices are the Stimpod NMX450X and the Datex-Ohmeda E-NMT.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- TOF-ratio (percentage) [Up until 120 minutes]
TOF = Train-of-four. TOF-ratio is the ratio of the fourth muscle response to the first one. This is used to assess neuromuscular transmission. TOF% indicates fade in non-depolarizing block. We are comparing the calculated TOF ratio of the stimpod NMX to the datex-ohmeda E-NMT
Secondary Outcome Measures
- TOF-count (absolute number) [Up until 120 minutes.]
TOF count is the actual number of detected muscle responses. The number that is used to calculate the percentage (TOF-ratio). When the TOF count drops below 4 responses, then the TOF% cannot be calculated. We are comparing the detected muscle responses of the stimpod NMX to the datex-ohmeda E-NMT
