    Two devices measuring evoked compound muscle action potentials (EMG) for neuromuscular blockade monitoring showed similar results. The Datex Anaesthesia and Brain Monitor (ABM) offers a simple, accurate method for assessing neuromuscular transmission during surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Neuromuscular blockade is crucial during surgery.
    • Accurate monitoring of neuromuscular transmission is essential for patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare two instruments for measuring evoked compound muscle action potentials (EMG).
    • To evaluate the Datex Anaesthesia and Brain Monitor (ABM) for neuromuscular transmission assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of a Datex ABM (integration technique) and a Medelec MS6 (amplitude measurement).
    • Both instruments used the same electrodes on adductor pollicis.
    • Study involved eight patients undergoing surgery with non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockade.

    Main Results:

    • Measurements of neuromuscular transmission by both devices correlated well.

  • No statistically significant differences were found between the two methods.
  • The ABM demonstrated accurate measurement of evoked EMG.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Datex ABM is a simple and accurate tool for measuring evoked EMG.
    • The ABM is suitable for studying neuromuscular transmission during anesthesia.
