The goal of this study is to use electromyography-based train-of-four monitoring (TetraGraph™ Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor) as a means of evaluating differences in neuromuscular transmission between infants ≤ 3 months of age and adolescent and older patients (≥ 12 years of age).
Inclusion Criteria: * ASA 1-3 patients * Aged 28 days - 3 months or ≥ 12 years * Undergoing a surgical procedure with a volatile-agent based anesthetic that does not require administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with history of a peripheral neurologic or neuropathic disorder * Patients in whom the upper extremity cannot be used for TOF monitoring * Patients undergoing a surgical procedure in which neuromuscular blockade is required * Edematous patients * Patients receiving total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)
TetraGraph is a unique, EMG-based portable device for quantitative (objective) monitoring of neuromuscular function. It is a precise and easy to use tool for monitoring depth of block, ensuring adequate recovery of muscle function, and aiding the clinician to reduce the incidence of residual block.
