Comparison of kinemyography and electromyography during onset of and recovery from non-depolarising neuromuscular blockade: prospective observational study
Background Quantitative neuromuscular monitoring is essential for the safe management of neuromuscular blockade. Although electromyography (EMG) is increasingly regarded as a reference technique, kinemyography (KMG) remains widely used in clinical practice; however, clinically relevant differences between these modalities during onset and recovery of neuromuscular blockade are not fully understood. Methods In this prospective observational study, adult patients undergoing general anaesthesia with non-depolarising n …
