Neuromuscular Anatomy and Physiology
Which of the following statement is TRUE when monitoring neuromuscular blockade on a twitch monitor?
Nondepolarizing agents are monitored by placing the twitch monitor on the facial nerve only, while depolarizing agents are monitored by placing the twitch monitor on the ulnar nerve only.
Nondepolarizing agents demonstrate a response called ''fade'' where the twitch response decreases with repetitive nerve stimulation.
Depolarizing agents always cause ''fade.''
Neuromuscular blockade caused by nondepolarizing agents cannot be monitored with a nerve stimulator.
None of the above.
