Response to double‐burst appears before response to train‐of‐four stimulation during recovery from non‐depolarizing neuromuscular blockade

Background: Double‐burst stimulation (DBS) it a relatively new nerve stimulation mode introduced for improved manual detection of residual neuromuscular blockade. Previous studies have shown that DBS3,3 50/50 (3 stimuli at 50 Hz followed 0.75 seconds later by 3 stimuli at 50 Hz) can detect deeper degrees of neuromuscular blockade than train‐of‐four (TOF) stimulation.
