Precision of neuromuscular monitoring in paediatric patients: a randomised prospective agreement study of kinemyography and electromyography.

British journal of anaesthesia·July 31, 2026·PMID 42538250

Why it matters

Quantitative neuromuscular monitoring in young children is challenging, especially when devices are used outside certified age/weight ranges. This study provides direct evidence that EMG maintains precision even in uncertified populations, whereas KMG does not, guiding device selection for reliable monitoring in pediatric anesthesia.
