Figure 2 (A) Kaplan-Meier curve presenting time to TOFratio=0 measured with both methods. (Created in: Statistica 13.3, Tibco). (B) The Bland-Altman plot (average vs difference) for onset of neuromuscular block after mivacurium 0.2 mg/kg. The solid line illustrates the mean difference and the dashed lines indicate average difference ±1.96 standard deviation of the difference. (Created in: Microsoft Excel 2019). TOF – train-of-four; TOF-Cuff – a device designed for neuromuscular monitoring on an upper arm; TOF-Scan – a device designed for neuromuscular monitoring on a facial corrugator supercilii muscle.
