Use of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and Neuromuscular Monitoring in 7 Danish Teaching Hospitals

Use of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and Neuromuscular Monitoring in 7 Danish Teaching Hospitals - a Cross-sectional Study

Aim: To explore

• the frequency of use of objective neuromuscular monitoring for assessment of depth of neuromuscular blockade in general anaesthesia
• the incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade, and
• the timing of reversal of the neuromuscular blockade at the end of anaesthesia.

We will collect data from 7 Danish anaesthesia departments, using data from the Anaesthesia Information Management System (AIMS).

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients who received general anaesthesia with neuromuscular blockade in one of the 7 hospitals providing data for the study in the last 18 months up until the time of data collection
