Summary

This trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a new monitoring device called TetraGraph in measuring muscle function in babies under 1 year old, to the traditional monitoring method.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for infants under 1 year old who are undergoing surgery. The study aims to include those who can safely undergo neuromuscular transmission monitoring during their procedure.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of a device called TetraGraph in monitoring muscle response, known as train-of-four (TOF), during surgery in infants compared to standard TOF monitors when possible.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive monitoring with the TetraGraph, there are no direct side effects from the device itself. However, general risks associated with surgical procedures and anesthesia apply.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: TetraGraph (TM) NMT MonitorExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
TetraGraph is a unique, EMG-based portable device for quantitative (objective) monitoring of neuromuscular function. It is a precise and easy to use tool for monitoring depth of block, ensuring adequate recovery of muscle function, and aiding the clinician to reduce the incidence of residual block.
