Waiting five to six minutes before measuring a train-of-four (TOF) after a 50-Hz tetanic stimulation or post-tetanic count (PTC) in order to allow the facilitation of transmission to subside is commonly recommended but is based on limited evidence. The purpose of this study was to measure the TOF responses after PTC in one hand and to compare the responses with those in the contralateral (control) hand.
