  NMT Monitoring Services

  Residual Neuromuscular Blockade – the need for quantitative monitoring. Residual neuromuscular block is perhaps most accurately defined as the presence of signs or symptoms of muscle weakness in the postoperative period after the intraoperative administration of an NMBD. Muscle relaxants have revolutionized anesthesiology, and are routinely used to: improve intubating conditions, decrease the risk of patients´laryngeal and vocal cord trauma, ...

  Qualitative vs Quantitative NMT Monitoring Services

  Qualitative vs quantitative NMT monitoring- the neuromuscular assessment can be subjective or objective. Visual or tactile assessment of the twitch responses is considered qualitative (subjective) neuromuscular assessment, because the clinician guesses the degree of fade or recovery, instead of measuring the strength of responses. The result is therefore subjective and unreliable, regardless of the clinician’s level of experience or training. Low, ...

  EMG – The new Gold Standard in NMT Monitoring Services

  Like other technologies, EMG involves stimulation of a peripheral nerve and measurement of the response that is generated by the contraction of the innervated muscle. The difference from other technologies is that EMG measures an electrical event that occurs at the neuromuscular junction; the activation of postsynaptic receptors by acetylcholine (a chemical process) that converts it to a mechanical response (excitation- contraction coupling), that results ...
