Abstract

PurposeTo determine the popularity of neuromuscular monitoring in pediatric anesthesia. DesignSelf-filled electronic questionnaire survey. MethodsAnesthesiologists were notified through a professional network platform of anesthesiology by mobile phone. The survey deadline was December 23, 2019. FindingsA total of 883 valid questionnaires were collected. A total of 738 (83%) anesthesiologists stated that they had never used neuromuscular monitoring in pediatric anesthesia, and 638 (72%) anesthesiologists stated that they were not equipped with neuromuscular monitors. A total of 869 (98.75%) anesthesiologists had used neostigmine, but only 291 (33%) anesthesiologists reported routine postoperative administration for the reversal of neuromuscular block. ConclusionsNeuromuscular monitoring in pediatric anesthesia needs to be further popularized. However, how to effectively and safely use neuromuscular antagonists are also important issues that require attention from anesthesiologists.
