Adequate neuromuscular monitoring of patients is essential to verify complete recovery of neuromuscular function before tracheal extubation. This study aimed to assess the correlation between the values acquired from the brachialis muscle using TOF-Cuff and those obtained from the adductor pollicis muscle with TOF-Scan during anaesthesia with mivacurium. Twenty-five patients were enrolled in the observational clinical trial, with the TOF-Cuff positioned on the upper arm and the TOF-Scan on the thumb.

Study Objective: Quantitative neuromuscular monitoring is traditionally evaluated at the adductor pollicis muscle. By contrast, the TOF-Cuff compressomyograph evaluates neuromuscular block (NMB) at the upper arm. However, compressomyography has not been fully validated against other monitoring entities.

Introduction: Neuromuscular monitoring by acceleromyography assesses the effects of non-depolarising neuromuscular blocking agents used during anaesthesia induction to optimise intubation conditions. A new type of neuromuscular monitor, TOF-Cuff, integrates electrode stimulation into a blood pressure monitoring cuff. Comparisons of this device with TOF-Scan, considered a clinical standard acceleromyography device, have not been published.

Background: Acceleromyometry is the clinical standard for quantitative neuromuscular monitoring, mostly using the stimulation pattern train-of-four (TOF). TOF-Cuff®, a recently introduced neuromuscular monitor with stimulating electrodes integrated within a blood pressure cuff, assesses the muscular response in the upper arm.
Methods: The time from administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent to TOF-ratio 0% during modified rapid sequence induction was compared between TOF-Cuff® and acceleromyometry (TOF-Scan®).
