A new type of neuromuscular monitor, TOF-Cuff, integrates electrode stimulation into a blood pressure monitoring cuff. Comparisons of this device with TOF-Scan, considered a clinical standard acceleromyography device, have not been published.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This prospective, observational study was approved by the Ethics Committee East Switzerland (BASEC-nr. 2016-02044), and patients\u2019 consent was obtained before inclusion. The study\u2019s aim was to compare TOF-Cuff with TOF-Scan by measuring the duration from the administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent to a train-of-four (TOF) ratio of 0%. After anaesthesia induction, atracurium was administered (0.5 mg kg-1) and TOF ratios were recorded every 15 seconds using the two devices simultaneously. Patients were grouped according to body mass index (&lt; or \u2265 30 kg m-2).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty-five non-obese and twenty-five obese patients were included. In non-obese patients, bias was \u20133 s (\u00b1 21.2; limits of agreement \u201344.7 to 38.4; P = 0.702). In obese patients, bias was \u201320 s (\u00b1 35.0; limits of agreement \u201388.6 to 48.6; P = 0.0139). Large intra-individual differences of up to 60 seconds were detected even in non-obese patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A significant systematic difference in the time to reach a TOF ratio of 0% was found when using the two devices in obese patients. In non-obese and obese patients, there were large intra-individual and clinically relevant differences. The two devices cannot be used interchangeably.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5114\/ait.2020.98124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,26]],"date-time":"2020-08-26T07:47:27Z","timestamp":1598428047000},"page":"181-186","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["An observational study comparing the performance of TOF-Cuff with TOF-Scan monitoring during anaesthetic induction in clinical routine"],"prefix":"10.5114","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Andrew","family":"Markle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katja","family":"Horn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JoEllen","family":"Welter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Dullenkopf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1381239","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000002387"},{"key":"ref-1381240","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000002670"},{"key":"ref-1381241","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-200305000-00005"},{"key":"ref-1381242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ALN.0000000000002400"},{"key":"ref-1381243","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.redar.2017.03.013"},{"key":"ref-1381244","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000004147"},{"key":"ref-1381245","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000004109"},{"key":"ref-1381246","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-200405000-00013"},{"key":"ref-1381247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00101-006-1104-6"},{"key":"ref-1381248","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000001801"},{"key":"ref-1381249","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/EJA.0000000000000065"},{"key":"ref-1381250","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00101-008-1417-8"},{"key":"ref-1381251","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2007.01352.x"},{"key":"ref-1381252","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00540-018-2587-4"},{"key":"ref-1381253","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/aas.13487"}],"container-title":["Anaesthesiology Intensive Therapy"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ait-journal.com\/pdf-122687-121943","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ait-journal.com\/pdf-122687-121943","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,27]],"date-time":"2025-03-27T10:59:02Z","timestamp":1743073142000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ait-journal.com\/An-observational-study-comparing-the-performance-of-TOF-Cuff-with-TOF-Scan-monitoring,122687,0,2.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,14]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020]]}},"alternative-id":["122687"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5114\/ait.2020.98124","relation":{},"ISSN":["1642-5758","1731-2531"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1642-5758","type":"print"},{"value":"1731-2531","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,14]]}}}
