Mindray Neuromuscular Transmission Transducer (NMT1)

June 20, 2019 updated by: Ashraf Dahaba, MD, Suez Canal University

Sensitivity and Specificity of the New Mindray 3-Directional Neuromuscular Transmission Module Versus the Relaxometer Mechanomyograph and Versus TOF-Watch Acceleromyograph for Neuromuscular Block Monitoring

A new NMT module from Mindray (Mindray Co. Shenzhen, People's Republic of China.) claims to measure 3 directional accelerography. The aim of the study is to compare the neuromuscular block of rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg (twice the 95% effective dose, ED95) monitored by the NMT versus that monitored by the Relaxometer Mechanomyograph on the other hand in Group 1, and versus the TOF-Watch on the other hand in Group 2 to clinically evaluate the new system for its diagnostic accuracy.

Detailed Description

Mechanomyography (MMG) is regarded as the standard method for precise quantification of neuromuscular block. The conventional MMG measures the exact force of muscle contraction in response to electric stimulation of the ulnar nerve. MMG quantifies the neuromuscular function by measurement of the force displacement. However the equipment is rather bulky, takes time to set up, requires a rigid support of the arm in an often-crowded operating room. This limits its clinical use in the daily anesthesia practice. Acceleromyography is based on the acceleration of a piezo-electrode. A new NMT module from (Shenzhen, People's Republic of China.) claims to measure 3 directional accelerography. The aim of the study is to compare the neuromuscular block of rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg (twice the 95% effective dose, ED95) monitored by the NMT to that monitored by the Relaxometer Mechanomyograph in Group 1, and versus TOF-Watch Acceleromyograph in Group 2 to clinically evaluate the new system for its diagnostic accuracy.
