Summary:With the advent of shorter-acting non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs, the use of nerve stimulation as a means of monitoring the neuromuscular junction has become more widespread. This article describes the patterns of nerve stimulation and modes of monitoring muscular response in current clinical use. These patterns and modes are compared and their clinical relevance is discussed.
