Quantitative neuromuscular monitoring with TwitchView allows clinicians to individualize dosing of reversal drugs, determine the optimal reversal strategy and confirm complete antagonism of neuromuscular blockade.

Published Benefits of TwitchView

In a study performed at Harborview Medical Center, clinicians utilized TwitchView, an EMG based quantitative neuromuscular monitor and a protocol to guide management and reversal of neuromuscular blockade, resulting in a 0% incidence rate of residual paralysis or PRNMB. Sug. was utilized in 48% of all patients and 17% of the patients in the mixed surgical population achieved adequate spontaneous recovery and did not need any pharmacological reversal. Of note, Thilen et al. achieved this groundbreaking advance in patient safety while maintaining a role for neostigmine as a reversal strategy, resulting in pharmacologic cost savings of $42 per patient.[1]

Improved

Patient Safety

Using TwitchView and a protocol, we completely prevented post-operative residual neuromuscular blockade (PRNMB).

Reduced

Drug Spending

The acquisition cost for reversal drugs would have been 70% higher.

Three unique TwitchView features enable the precise management and appropriate antagonism of neuromuscular blockade.

1

Validated Accurate Data

Sensitive detection of twitches from profound blockade via post-tetanic count (PTC), to moderate blockade and recovery via TOF Count and TOF Ratio [2, 3].

2

Automatic Continuous Data

An AutoPTCTM feature that switches automatically between TOF and PTC stimulation modes based on the patient’s real-time level of blockade.

Real-Time & Trended Data

An interactive, dynamic trend plot that enables clinicians to visualize how neuromuscular blocking agents affect each patient differently.
