Randomized Controlled Trial
Dexamethasone decreases the duration of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block: A randomised controlled study.
Several drugs influence the time course of neuromuscular block during general anaesthesia. ⋯ A single dose of dexamethasone 8 mg attenuated rocuronium-induced block by 15 to 20% if administered 2 to 3 h prior to induction of anaesthesia. However, the administration of dexamethasone during induction of anaesthesia did not influence the time course of the neuromuscular block.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Performance of acceleromyography with a short and light TOF-tube compared with mechanomyography: A clinical comparison.
Disturbances in the thumb's movement interfere with the functioning of acceleromyography in many clinical settings. The short and light (SL) train-of-four (TOF)-Tube is a new version of a rigid tubular device that was designed to protect the thumb from external disturbances during surgery, even when the hand is not accessible by the anaesthesiologist. ⋯ Compared with mechanomyography, acceleromyography performed with the aid of an SL TOF-Tube offered acceptable precision and equivalent performance during neuromuscular block recovery.
