Normalization of acceleromyographic train-of-four ratio by baseline value for detecting residual neuromuscular block

Abstract: Baseline TOF ratios measured by AMG are usually more than 1.0 and vary widely among patients. Therefore a TOF ratio of 0.9 displayed postoperatively on AMG does not always represent adequate recovery of neuromuscular function and should be normalized by baseline value to reliably detect residual paralysis.
