The staircase phenomenon: implications for monitoring of neuromuscular transmission.
BACKGROUND Repeated indirect stimulation enhances the evoked mechanical response of muscle (the staircase phenomenon). There are few data that document the magnitude of this effect in man. Inexpensive acceleromyographic monitors of neuromuscular function are now available. If these units are to be used as scientific tools or clinical monitors, additional information regarding how to achieve pro...

متن کاملNeuromuscular transmission in Peripatus.
The electrical and mechanical responses of body, leg and jaw muscle of Peripatus to electrical excitation of their motor-nerves were examined. A small twitch was obtained from each muscle, whose strength increased stepwise with increasing stimulus strength. In jaw and body muscles as many as ten increments in height were obtained with increasing stimulus strength. Only a single twitch height wa...
متن کاملNeuromuscular Monitoring : A Review
Residual neuromuscular blockade in the postoperative period contributes to significant morbidity and possibly mortality. The incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade has been shown to decrease with the use of neuromuscular monitoring and short acting neuromuscular blocking drugs. Because of marked variation in patient's sensitivity to neuromuscular blockade, the neuromuscular function of th...
متن کاملMonitoring neuromuscular blockade.
Neuromuscular-blocking agents (NMBA) have been used in clinical anesthesia for nearly 60 years. In the perioperative period, a variety of factors can influence a patient’s response to these drugs. To precisely titrate NMBAs to clinical effects in the anesthetized patient, the application of neuromuscular monitoring is essential. The use of a peripheral nerve stimulator allows the clinician to a...
