Evaluation of the TOF3D Mechanomyograph for Monitoring Neuromuscular Block During Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a new device that uses mechanomyography to assess the degree of neuromuscular block during surgery. This method has been mostly experimental until now and may provide more precise measurements compared to the commonly used acceleromyography. The study aims to compare these two devices and their different stimulation patterns to improve monitoring during anesthesia. The study is divided into two parts. The first part directly compares the new mechanomyograph device with an acceleromyograph. The second part compares two mechanomyographs using different stimulation techniques. Participants will undergo neuromuscular block monitoring during their surgery using these devices. Participants scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia with neuromuscular blocking agents will be involved. Researchers will measure the time it takes for recovery to a specific train of four ratio from enrollment until the end of anesthesiologic treatment on the day of surgery, which occurs 2 to 3 weeks after enrollment. This helps assess the accuracy and timing of neuromuscular recovery. The study lasts from enrollment until the end of the anesthesiologic treatment on the surgery day.
