Comparison of Two Quantitative EMG Monitors for Deep Neuromuscular Block in Laparoscopic/Robotic and VATS Surgery

9 luglio 2026 aggiornato da: Boris Mraovic, Ohio State University

Comparison of Two Quantitative Electromyography Monitors for Deep Neuro Muscular Block in Patients Undergoing Abdominal Laparoscopic/Robotic or Thoracic Video-Assisted (VATS) Surgeries

The main objective of the study is to compare the frequency of intraoperative spontaneous diaphragmatic movements and breath-initiation efforts in participants undergoing robotic and/or thoracic surgery under deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB), using either the TetraGraph or TwitchView applied to the dominant hand. These events will serve as objective indicators to evaluate each device's ability to monitor and maintain adequate deep NMB.

Descrizione dettagliata

This study is a prospective intraoperative device comparison trial evaluating neuromuscular blockade monitoring using two quantitative EMG-based devices, the TetraGraph (Senzime) and TwitchView (Blink), during elective laparoscopic, robotic, or video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) abdominal surgeries requiring neuromuscular blockade. Participants will be assigned to receive both monitoring devices simultaneously, placed on opposite upper extremities, allowing each subject to serve as their own control. Standard anesthesia care will be maintained throughout the procedure, including volatile anesthetic titration, opioid administration as needed, mechanical ventilation targeting normocapnia, temperature regulation, and routine neuromuscular blockade management with rocuronium and reversal with sugammadex per institutional practice. Neuromuscular function will be continuously assessed using train-of-four (TOF), train-of-four ratio, and post-tetanic count (PTC) measurements, with data recorded at predefined intraoperative time points including baseline, post-paralytic administration, maintenance, reversal, and prior to extubation. Additional data will include dosing of neuromuscular blocking agents, physiologic parameters, and intraoperative clinical observations relevant to depth of blockade and recovery. Provider usability and workflow integration will be evaluated postoperatively through brief standardized surveys assessing device usability, signal quality, and overall satisfaction. All collected data will be derived from device outputs and routine perioperative clinical documentation without altering standard patient care.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: TetraGraph (Senzime) Dominant Hand
Participants will have the TetraGraph (Senzime) electromyography (EMG) neuromuscular monitoring device placed on the dominant hand and the TwitchView (Blink) EMG neuromuscular monitoring device placed on the non-dominant hand. The device placed on the dominant hand will be used to guide intraoperative neuromuscular blockade management, while measurements from both devices will be collected for comparison of quantitative neuromuscular monitoring performance.
Dispositivo: TetraGraph (Senzime)-Guided Neuromuscular Monitoring (Dominant Hand)
The TetraGraph (Senzime) quantitative electromyography (EMG) neuromuscular monitoring device will be applied to the participant's dominant hand after induction of general anesthesia and prior to neuromuscular blocking agent administration. Surface electrodes will be placed over the ulnar nerve per manufacturer instructions, and the device will be calibrated to obtain baseline Train-of-Four (TOF) measurements. Following rocuronium administration, the device will continuously monitor neuromuscular function, recording TOF approximately every 15 seconds and post-tetanic count (PTC) every 5 minutes when TOF count is zero. As the dominant-hand monitor, its readings will guide rocuronium redosing to maintain deep neuromuscular blockade (PTC 0-3) and assess recovery. During emergence, it will guide reversal, with extubation at TOF ratio ≥0.9.
Sperimentale: TwitchView (Blink) Dominant Hand
Participants will have the TwitchView (Blink) electromyography (EMG) neuromuscular monitoring device placed on the dominant hand and the TetraGraph (Senzime) EMG neuromuscular monitoring device placed on the non-dominant hand. The device placed on the dominant hand will be used to guide intraoperative neuromuscular blockade management, while measurements from both devices will be collected for comparison of quantitative neuromuscular monitoring performance.
Dispositivo: TwitchView (Blink)-Guided Neuromuscular Monitoring (Dominant Hand)
The TwitchView (Blink) quantitative electromyography (EMG) neuromuscular monitoring device will be applied to the participant's dominant hand after induction of general anesthesia and prior to administration of neuromuscular blocking agents. Surface electrodes will be placed over the ulnar nerve per manufacturer instructions, and the device will be calibrated to obtain baseline Train-of-Four (TOF) measurements. Following rocuronium administration, neuromuscular function will be continuously monitored, with TOF recorded approximately every 15 seconds and post-tetanic count (PTC) every 5 minutes when TOF count is zero. As the dominant-hand device, its measurements will guide rocuronium redosing to maintain deep neuromuscular blockade (PTC 0-3) and assess recovery. During emergence, it will guide reversal, with extubation at TOF ratio ≥0.9.
