Brief Summary
The investigators want to compare new muscle relaxation monitoring, TOF-Cuff and TOF-Scan, during general anesthesia. Standard monitoring is using thumb, however it can't be use on every patient. Alternative can be eyebrow muscle or foot muscle. There is only few old study that compares this muscle and used mivacurium. The study aims to compare TOF-Cuff and TOF-Scan with different sensor and use mivacurium.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Onset time
Time in seconds from start of injection of mivacurium until emergence of TOF ratio of 0%. TOF = Train of Four
1 to 10 minutes
Total recovery time of neuromuscular block
The total recovery time, i.e. total duration of the neuromuscular block is defined as the time in minutes from start of injection of mivacurium until a normalized TOF ratio of 90%
30 to 500 minutes
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Time to repeated dose
5 to 200 minutes
Study Arms (5)
TOF Cuff on arm and TOF Scan on corrugator supercilii
Patients undergoing surgery with intubation and receiving a intubation dose of mivacurium (0.2 mg/kg) and repeated dose of mivacurium (2mg) depending of needing under, routine gas anesthesia will have monitoring of neuromuscular block with two monitors simultaneously.
TOF Cuff on lower leg and TOF Scan on adductor pollicis
Patients undergoing surgery with intubation and receiving a intubation dose of mivacurium (0.2 mg/kg) and repeated dose of mivacurium (2mg) depending of needing under, routine gas anesthesia will have monitoring of neuromuscular block with two monitors simultaneously.
TOF Scan on adductor pollicis and TOF Scan on toe
Patients undergoing surgery with intubation and receiving a intubation dose of mivacurium (0.2 mg/kg) and repeated dose of mivacurium (2mg) depending of needing under, routine gas anesthesia will have monitoring of neuromuscular block with two monitors simultaneously.
TOF Scan on adductor pollicis and TOF Cuff on arm
Patients undergoing surgery with intubation and receiving a intubation dose of mivacurium (0.2 mg/kg) and repeated dose of mivacurium (2mg) depending of needing under, routine gas anesthesia will have monitoring of neuromuscular block with two monitors simultaneously.
TOF Scan on adductor pollicis and TOF Scan on corrugator supercilii
Patients undergoing surgery with intubation and receiving a intubation dose of mivacurium (0.2 mg/kg) and repeated dose of mivacurium (2mg) depending of needing under, routine gas anesthesia will have monitoring of neuromuscular block with two monitors simultaneously.
Interventions
The TOF Cuff will be installed on one arm in opposite of TOF Scan. After intubation dose of mivacurium continuous monitoring of neuromuscular block started until complete recovery of neuromuscular block.
The TOF Cuff will be installed on one lower leg. After intubation dose of mivacurium continuous monitoring of neuromuscular block started until complete recovery of neuromuscular block.
The TOF Scan will be installed on hallux . After intubation dose of mivacurium continuous monitoring of neuromuscular block started until complete recovery of neuromuscular block.
The TOF Scan will be installed on Thumb. After intubation dose of mivacurium continuous monitoring of neuromuscular block started until complete recovery of neuromuscular block.
The TOF Scan will be installed on corrugator supercilii. After intubation dose of mivacurium continuous monitoring of neuromuscular block started until complete recovery of neuromuscular block.
