[PARAGRAPH as a neuromuscular blockade monitor].
To assess the clinical performance of a new neuromuscular blockade monitor "PARAGRAPH", we studied adults and pediatric patients during general anesthesia. PARAGRAPH enables anesthesiologists to perform various types of assessment of neuromuscular blockade, including TOF, DBS and single twitch even with children. The most remarkable point is its capability for analysis and printing by personal computer. We conclude this device is portable and easy to use, as well as a clinically reliable neuromuscular blockade monitor.
