The aim of this study is to compare AMG and EMG (Philips IntelliVue NMT module and Senzime TetraGraph) in the objective monitoring of neuromuscular blocking in children between the age of 6 months and 2 years.The monitoring will be done bilaterally either on n.ulnaris or n. tibialis. The hypothesis of the study is that AMG will indicate faster recovery time (time to return to TOF 90%) from neuromuscular block than EMG.
