TetraGraph vs TwitchView for Neuromuscular Blockade
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The main objective of the study is to compare the frequency of intraoperative spontaneous diaphragmatic movements and breath-initiation efforts in participants undergoing robotic and/or thoracic surgery under deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB), using either the TetraGraph or TwitchView applied to the dominant hand. These events will serve as objective indicators to evaluate each device's ability to monitor and maintain adequate deep NMB.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults having robotic, laparoscopic, or thoracic surgery who will need deep muscle relaxation during the procedure. People with certain medical conditions or those not undergoing these types of surgeries cannot participate.Inclusion Criteria

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Trial Overview
The study compares two devices—TetraGraph and TwitchView—that monitor how well muscles are relaxed during surgery. Each device is used on the dominant hand to see which better detects unwanted muscle movements while patients are under anesthesia.

Experimental Treatment
Participants will have the TwitchView (Blink) electromyography (EMG) neuromuscular monitoring device placed on the dominant hand and the TetraGraph (Senzime) EMG neuromuscular monitoring device placed on the non-dominant hand. The device placed on the dominant hand will be used to guide intraoperative neuromuscular blockade management, while measurements from both devices will be collected for comparison of quantitative neuromuscular monitoring performance.
