The degree of twitch depression induced by nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs is known to be dependent on the stimulation frequency employed. Train-of-four (TOF) stimulations with different frequencies (0.67, 1.33 and 2.0Hz) were delivered to a sciatic nerve of a rat and series of four twitch heights of a tibialis anterior muscle were measured after d-tubocurarine (d-TC) administration. With a decrease of stimulus interval, twitch heights were intensely depressed. We hypothesized that the oservations are due to the changes of released amount of neuromuscular transmitter, acetylcholine, dependent on stimulus interval, and a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model based on the hypothesis was proposed. The model allowed simultaneous fitting of the twitch height depression after d-TC administration. It also could give a rationale to the fact that TOF stimulation at 2.0 Hz is a more sensitive monitoring method of neuromuscular function than single twitch stimulation (0.1-0.2 Hz).
