This survey was conducted among Czech anaesthetists to evaluate neuromuscular blockade monitoring during anaesthesia. Despite the benefit of neuromuscular monitoring, its utilisation in clinical practice is rather an exception than the routine. There is a noteworthy lack of monitoring facilities in Czech Republic (75 % of anaesthetic departments having no device for neuromuscular blockade monitoring).
