The 2018 Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines state that reversal of neuromuscular block to a TOF ratio of ≥0.9 is important to avoid residual paralysis.
Supported by clinical evidence
Quantitative train-of-four (TOF) monitoring helps to elevate patient care.
Clinical publications highlight that quantitative TOF monitoring significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative residual curarization (PORC), leading to fewer respiratory complications and enhanced patient safety. (1-2)
Quantitative TOF monitoring may help support improved recovery profiles, shorter hospital stays, and better overall outcomes, aligning with ERAS goals of faster recovery and reduced healthcare costs. (1-3)
Accurate TOF monitoring facilitates appropriate dosing of reversal agents,ensuring complete recovery from neuromuscular block minimizing the risk of residual paralysis. (4)

ERAS protocols emphasize the importance of minimizing postoperative complications and promoting faster recovery.
Quantitative TOF monitoring is a critical component, as it ensures adequate reversal of muscle relaxants, reducing the risk of residual neuromuscular block and associated respiratory complications.
TetraGraph is the first portable, clinically validated EMG-based quantitative neuromuscular monitor with accurate peak-to-trough analysis, designed to support Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols.
It provides continuous train-of-four (TOF) readings, enhancing muscle relaxant dosing, guiding neuromuscular block reversal, and confirming a TOF ratio >0.9 for safe extubation.
