Neuromuscular monitoring is of crucial importance for the controlled use of muscle relaxants. Together with reversal, it forms the basis of any successful strategy to avoid postoperative residual blockades. This compact reference work provides all the essential information needed for the application of neuromuscular monitoring: physiological and pharmacological fundamentals of neuromuscular transmission; basics of neuromuscular monitoring: from the stimulation electrode to the correct choice of stimulation pattern and interpretation of results; practical approaches in clinical everyday life; clinical concepts for qualitative and quantitative nerve stimulators; detailed description of acceleromyography, including a question-and-answer section; important information summarized in key points; current guidelines for the scientific use of acceleromyography.
