Reviewed literature has shown that a train-of-four (TOF) of 0/4 before tracheal intubation improved intubating conditions and reduced the incidence of vocal cord damage. Current literature demonstrates that the standard dosing of rocuronium may be insufficient to provide adequate neuromuscular blockade (NMB) for intubation. Operative conditions, blood loss, narcotic requirements, and retractor pressures were all reduced with sufficiently deep neuromuscular blockade. Use of periferal nerve stimulation (PNS) decreases the amount of reversal agent administered, which is both a cost saving and an improvement in patient safety outcomes. Additionally, clinical subjective assessments frequently fail to detect residual neuromuscular blockade, a condition associated with increased morbidity, length of stay, and cost of care. Objective monitoring is the most effective tool to help providers ensure complete reversal of NMB and return of muscle strength. Assurance of full reversal decreases the incidence of residual paralysis and its associated complications and costs.

System Requirements:
Browsers and operating systems are constantly being updated with improvements, new features and security patches. At echelon, we strive to keep up with these changes and, while our courses may work with older browsers and operating systems, we cannot guarantee compatibility with older systems.
Browser
We officially support the latest version of these browsers: Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. We strongly encourage you to keep your operating system and browser as up to date as possible
Chrome/Safari/Edge/Firefox
Operating System
We periodically test our courses in supported browsers on computers running Windows and MacOS. Please be aware that both Microsoft and Apple routinely end their support of older operating systems (for example, Windows XP and Vista, MacOS El Capitan, Yosemite, etc.) and we do not test our courses on these unsupported operating systems.
Mobile Devices
Our courses are periodically tested on a variety of mobile phones and tablets running iOS and Android. While there are far too many different devices out there for us to test on, we strive to test on a representative sample of mobile devices running the latest version of both operating systems.
Internet Connection
For stable video playback in our courses, we recommend your internet connection provide bandwidth of 5 Mbps or faster. The videos in our courses are designed for HD (high definition) playback, but if your internet connection is slow, video resolution may automatically be reduced to a lower resolution in order to continue uninterrupted streaming of the video. Inadequate internet connection speeds may also result in pausing of video playback.
Hardware
The videos in our courses do have sound, so your device will need to support sound with speakers or headphones. Please note that due to the vast number of different hardware configurations available in desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile phone devices, we are unable to provide specifications for minimum hardware requirements.
