Absence of intraoperative specific monitoring increases the incidence of post-operative complications for patients receiving neuromuscular blockade
Recently, a new observational, prospective, multicenter study published by Errando et al. showed that the current practice of monitoring neuromuscular function in patients receiving neuromuscular blocking agents is inadequate - this calls for a new and standardized method of intraoperative monitoring. It is well documented that, in the post-anesthesia care unit, patients with residual neuromuscular blockade are subject to increased incidence of severe complications such as critical respiratory events and need for tracheal reintubation. The TetraGraph System is a new generation of EMG-
