Monitoring of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular block at the sternocleidomastoid muscle in anesthetized patients.
To assess the degree of neuromuscular block acceleromyographically at the sternocleidomastoid muscle. ⋯ The sternocleidomastoid muscle is more resistant to vecuronium than the adductor pollicis muscle. Recovery from neuromuscular block is faster at the sternocleidomastoid muscle than at the adductor pollicis muscle.
