It is estimated that the incidence of Post-Operative Residual Curarization (PORC) in post-operative care units can be as high as 45% after a single injection of a muscle relaxant1. Given that approximately 230 million patients undergo major surgery each year, it can be assumed that 100 patients per minute suffer discomfort, reduced ventilatory capacity, double vision and a 4-5 fold increase in aspiration risk (see Figure X). These residual effects have clinical consequences and can lead to complications that may prolong the length of hospital stay, especially for vulnerable populations such as obese patients.
Measurement sensors
The module contains two measurement sensor options: the easy-to-apply MechanoSensor for routine clinical use on adult and pediatric patients and ElectroSensor (EMG). The Recall function allows the module to be moved with the patient without losing the reference values and the measured supramaximal current. In addition, the recovery note function can be set to help notify when the block is wearing off.
