Accuracy and Precision of Three Acceleromyographs, Three Electromyographs and a Mechanomyograph Measuring the Train-of-Four Ratio in the Absence of Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs

Authors: Zain Wedemeyer, BS et al  Anesthesiology May 2024. Background The accuracy and precision of currently available, widely used acceleromyograph and electromyograph neuromuscular blockade monitors have not been well studied. In addition, the normalization of the train-of-four ratio from acceleromyography (train-of-four ratio [T4/T1] divided by the baseline train-of-four ratio) has not been validated in comparison […]

Exposure to Operative Anesthesia in Childhood and Subsequent Neurobehavioral Diagnoses

Authors: Jeffrey H. Silber, MD, PhD et al Anesthesiology May 2024. Background Observational studies of anesthetic neurotoxicity may be biased because children requiring anesthesia commonly have medical conditions associated with neurobehavioral problems. This study takes advantage of a natural experiment associated with appendicitis, in order to determine if anesthesia and surgery in childhood were specifically […]
