Measurement of neuromuscular blockade in man. A simple modification of a clinical pressure transducer. 1977

J E Armstrong, and V A Goat, and A B Loach

A simple modification of a clinical blood pressure transducer is described, which permits it to be used for the quantitative estimation of neuromuscular blockade in man. The instrument remains available for other pressure measurements since only the plastic dome is modified.
