The Stimpod 450X+ neuromuscular monitor by Xavant Technology has emerged as the leading choice for quantitative train-of-four (QTOF) monitoring, offering best-in-class electromyography (EMG) and acceleromyography (AMG) capabilities. The Stimpod 450X+ delivers superior functionality, cost savings, and EMR integration—making it … Read more

Quantitative Train-of-Four QTOF Monitoring Accuracy Comparisons

by
B170450 ARMS removebg preview

Introduction Quantitative train-of-four, or QTOF monitoring accuracy is key to managing neuromuscular blockades during anesthesia. Studies show that up to 180 million patients receive neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) annually, with 72 million experiencing post-operative complications due to residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB) [4]. These complications highlight the need for QTOF monitoring accuracy and reliability to increase … Read more

What are the recommendations for Quantitative Neuromuscular Monitoring?

by
Quantitative TOF Monitoring

The ASA Guideline recommends Quantitative Train of Four or QTOF monitoring when administering a paralytic.  The ASA Guideline indicates that you should only use Neostigmine when the patient has a TOF ration >40%.  A QTOF monitor is required to know when you are >40% so Quantitative TOF monitoring is needed to continue using Neostigmine as … Read more

Qualitative v Quantitative Monitoring: Is one superior? What’s the difference? Why does it matter?

by

The Quantitative Train of Four vs Subjective or Qualitative TOF neuromuscular monitoring study attached shows Quantitative TOF monitoring promoting a positive clinical practice change.  Quantitative TOF monitoring may be the greatest tool to use to safely monitor paralytic and reverse anesthesia patients safely.  The study tables show when using a traditional Peripheral Nerve Stimulator or … Read more

Stimpod 450X EMG: The Gold Standard for Quantitative Train-of-Four Monitoring

by

The linked study was released 10/2/2023 and validates the Xavant Stimpod 450X for neuromuscular blockade monitoring, proven in a recent study to match the gold standard in QTOF accuracy as having the most accurate EMG tested to date.  The study compared the Stimpod 450X EMG or Electromyography to MMG or Mechanomyography.  The results stated:  “The … Read more
