Are performance-based measures sufficiently reliable for use in multicenter trials?
Timed performance-based measures have a wide range of test-retest reliability. Performance-based protocols that reflect familiar tasks with discrete starting and ending points may achieve higher reliability than tasks that are unfamiliar to subjects or may have ambiguous elements in them.
Our findings indicate that remifentanil can reduce the duration and the intensity of succinylcholine induced fasciculation. However, it induces greater bradycardia.
