Lateral spread response monitoring during microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm : Comparison of two targets of partial neuromuscular blockade.

CONCLUSION: Maintenance of partial NMB with a target T1/Tc ratio of 50 % resulted in a clinically acceptable success rate of LSR monitoring and surgical condition during MVD. Maintenance of partial NMB with a target T1/Tc ratio of 50 % rather than TOF count of two during LSR monitoring for MVD can therefore be recommended.
