The Importance of Quantitative Twitch Monitoring in Neuromuscular Blockade Reversal

Anesthesiologists need to rethink everything they knew about neuromuscular blocking agents and reversing them, says Dr. Babbel. quantitative twitch monitoring is the only way that we know as of 2023 to absolutely be sure that a patient is fully recovered from their neurmuscular blocking drug. Not too many years ago, there was exactly one single device available in the United States for quantitative twitch monitoring. That's changed. Now have technology, primarily electro myographic technology. We also have accelerometric technology available to us. And it's for reasonably cost effective fashions.
