Monitoria del bloqueo neuromuscular pre y post operatorio al alcance de los anestesiólogos: ¿es posible? / Pre- and postoperative monitoring of neuromuscular block within the anesthesiologist's reach: is it possible?

The guidelines and regulations for the use of equipment in clinical practice are designed on the basis of scientific judgment supported by strong evidence. Different regulatory standards and clinical practice guidelines recommend the concurrent use of monitoring of neuromuscular blockade (MNMB) from induction to education of anesthesia when using neuromuscular blockers. It is quite concerning that the findings of numerous reports show that only a limited number of anesthetists systematically perform MNMB. Notwithstanding the availability of friendly modules, many of us do not use this approach, maybe due to lack of training or simply because we are not convinced of the benefits MNMB contributes.
