The differences in jitter between IMS+ and IMS- patients remained significant for 72 hours and increased jitter was observed in some patients for up to 216 hours. For intubated patients, the median time for jitter to normalize and median time to extubate were similar, and the two variables had a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.49, P = 0.001). Conclusions: Prolonged jitter recorded with SfEMG <24 hours of ingestion of an OP strongly correlates with subsequent occurrence of IMS. The time course of electrophysiological recovery of the NMJ was similar to the time course of respiratory recovery in IMS patients.]]> Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:17:15 AEST ]]> Sub-clinical neuromuscular dysfunction after envenoming by Merrem’s hump-nosed pit viper (Hypnale hypnale) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44856 Mon 24 Oct 2022 11:02:40 AEDT ]]>
