Operation: medical personnel apply electrodes to patient hand/wrist; module delivers stimulation and captures EMG response; data transmitted to bedside monitor for display. Provides quantitative measurement of muscle relaxation to guide dosing of muscle relaxants and regional anesthetics. Benefits: objective monitoring of neuromuscular blockade to ensure patient safety during anesthesia and mechanical ventilation.
