Neuromuscular blockade can be assessed accelerographically over the vastus medialis muscle in patients positioned prone.
To study accelerographic monitoring of neuromuscular blockade over the vastus medialis muscle in anesthetized patients in the prone position. ⋯ The degree of neuromuscular blockade can be assessed accelerographically over the vastus medialis muscle even when patients are in the prone position. When evaluated accelerographically over the vastus medialis muscle, onset of neuromuscular blockade is quicker and TOFR is higher than that assessed at the thumb.
