This webinar is with Dr. Christoph Unterbuchner, DESA, Senior Physician and Specialist in Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at Barmherzige Brüder Hospital in Munich, Germany.

Dr. Unterbuchner will discuss the pivotal role of quantitative neuromuscular monitoring in enhancing patient outcomes during robotic-assisted surgeries (RAS).

What you will learn in this webinar

  • Compare electromyography (EMG) and acceleromyography (AMG) to understand why EMG is better suited for robotic-assisted surgeries.
  • Explore how EMG-based monitoring overcomes challenges specific to RAS, including limited patient accessibility and positioning constraints.
  • Review clinical evidence and guidelines that emphasize the necessity of train-of-four monitoring, even with the use of sugammadex.
