COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EFFICIENCY OF ACCELEROMYOGRAPHY AND KINEMYOGRAPHY TO MONITOR NEUROMUSCULAR TRANSMISSION

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to compare two techniques of neuromuscular transmission (acceleromyography and kinemyography) during multicomponent anesthesia during abdominal laparoscopic surgery. The average value of the difference between methods during the block start makes 9.6% (95% CI 7.2–12.1), lower agreement limit makes 24.1%, upper agreement level makes +43.3%. The average value of the difference between methods regarding restoration of neuromuscular transmission makes 3.1% (95% CI 3.1-7.5), lower agreement limit makes 24.1%, and upper limit makes 24.0%. The both above techniques are accurate, confident, simple and can be used for evaluation of neuromuscular transmission.
