Incidence of Postoperative Neuromuscular Blockade in Post-Anesthesia Care Unit at Parkland Hospital: Does Size Matter?

Summary

This prospective, observational study will assess 100 subjects in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) at Parkland Hospital. Upon arrival to the PACU, patients' train-of-four (TOF) ratio will be calculated using the StimPod NMS450 accelerometer to determine the presence of any residual paralysis. Any patient with a TOF ratio \< 0.9 will be reassessed every 10 minutes until the ratio is ≥0.90. The time it takes to reach a TOF ratio ≥0.9 will be recorded. Subjects will be classified according to BMI categories: lean as \<30 kg/m2, obese as 30≤BMI≤39.9 kg/m2, and morbidly obese as BMI ≥40 kg/m2. This data will serve as a baseline to assess the incidence of residual NMB that currently occurs in our PACU so that we may use this pilot data to design future studies that aim to reduce the incidence of residual NMB.
