| Scientific title | Comparison of neuromuscular monitoring in the dominant and non-dominant hand using the TOF-Watch® SX: a single-centre randomised controlled trial |
| Study objectives | Is there a difference in the response observed between the dominant and non-dominant hand when using acceleromyography to monitor neuromuscular blockade? |
| Ethics approval(s) | Health and Social Care Research Ethics Committee (HSC REC 3) (Northern Ireland), 23/07/2009, ref: 07/NIR03/1 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Routine surgery/neuromuscular block |
| Intervention | After pre-oxygenation, all patients will receive a standard anaesthetic regimen consisting of intravenous infusions of propofol (0.1 - 8.0 µg/ml) and remifentanil (0.1 - 1.0 µg/kg/min) for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia. After induction, monitoring will be commenced on both arms using the TOF-Watch® SX. The monitors will be applied to the skin over the ulnar nerve at the wrist and calibrated according to Good Clinical Research Practice guidelines. After stabilisation of the TOF-Watch® SX trace in both arms, rocuronium (0.6 mg/kg) will be administered, following which tracheal intubation will be performed. Surgery will be continued as normal with monitoring continuing until extubation. Reversal with neostigmine will be performed as required. |
