This phenomenon may be a common occurrence in ‘fast-track’ managed cardiac patients administered long-acting NDMRs. We examine the usage of NDMRs in cardiac anaesthesia in the United Kingdom. comparison could be made) changed their choice of NDMR between NFT and FT patients. The majority of these anaesthetists (85.7%) remove pancuronium from their practice for FT patients. Of respondents, 20.7% (45/217) indicated that an assessment of neuromuscular function was part of an extubation protocol; 75.6% (34/45) of these respondents detailed only clinical methods, whilst 6.7% (3/45) indicated use of a ‘neuromuscular function monitor’ alone, with 15.6% (7/45) indicating use of both methods. Amongst the responses indicating ‘neuromuscular function monitor’ methods, an assessment of the ‘train-of-four’ was the commonest response. Less than 10% monitor the neuromuscular junction during surgery. Methods: A postal questionnaire was sent to 310 consultant cardiac
