Summary
This study looked at how two different hand muscles recover from muscle relaxants given during surgery. In 57 patients, researchers used EMG monitors to compare recovery in the thumb muscle versus the pinky muscle. The goal was to see if one muscle gives a better signal for when it's safe to stop anesthesia.
