Description

Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel.  This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.Today, we are discussing quantitative monitors for neuromuscular blockade with updated practice guidelines to help keep patients safe. The big takeaway from the new guidelines is that quantitative monitoring is recommended to ensure a TOF ratio greater than or equal to 0.9, and the best location is the adductor pollicis muscle.  Plus, sugammadex or neostigmine may be used for antagonism of blockade.Additional sound effects from: Zapsplat.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/166-keeping-patients-safe-with-the-brand-new-practice-guidelines-for-neuromuscular-blockade/© 2023, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation
