Post-tetanic Count on One Arm, the Other Arm is the Control
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to see how long does the effect of a post-tetanic facilitation last on subsequent train-of-four. The investigators hypothesis is that the effect last at least 30 minutes.
Interventions
DEVICENMT (a device that can do neurostimulation and can record the response on the stimulation by Datex)
on one side, we do a post-tetanic count, on the other side we don't, after, we do train-of-four on both sides and check the difference

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The difference at 30 minutes after the post-tetanic count between the TOF% in both arms, we expect a difference of more than 10% | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The difference at 30 minutes after the post-tetanic count on the T1% (of the calibrated T1) in both arms, we expect a difference of more than 10% | — |
| The difference of the slope of recuperation on TOF and T1% after a post-tetanic count vs the control arm that had no tetanic stimulation | — |
