[Intraoperative monitoring of a neuromuscular conduction blockade].
Preliminary results of intraoperative monitoring of the degree of neuromuscular blockade using a portable device based on the technique of evoked electromyography are presented. The device has an analogue outlet for the connection with a computer. The technique used is simple and reliable and makes it possible to work out a computerized system for automatic graded supply of current myorelaxants on a feedback principle. Such a system does not only ensure an adequate level of myorelaxation with a minimum expenditure of expensive drugs, but also gives a new approach to the study of neuromuscular conduction during anesthesiological supply in various surgical interventions.
