cord-336973-z8mwzmf6	Rubulotta, Francesca	In Response	2020-07-14		.txt	text/plain	1183	69	51	In Response W e thank esteemed colleagues Drs Brull and Kopman, 1 both well-known experts in the field of neuromuscular monitoring and blockade for their interest in our article and their comments. 2 The creation of dedicated anesthesia intubation teams during the COVID-19 crisis as well as the increasing engagement of anesthesiologists in the ICU setting led us to believe that presenting basic principles of neuromuscular monitoring could be of interest for all readers. NMB monitoring is not standard of care in the ICU, despite the infusion of NMBAs is common for adult with severe ARDS or during proning maneuvers. The COVID-19 pandemic peak has significantly increased the workload in most ICUs and the frequency of TOF monitoring has been compromised at times. We do not recommend the corrugator supercilii as the monitoring site of choice but wanted to point out that it best reflects NMB or neuromuscular transmission at the diaphragm or larynx, anatomic areas of particular interest for ICU physicians.	./cache/cord-336973-z8mwzmf6.txt	./txt/cord-336973-z8mwzmf6.txt
