How to use a muscle relaxation monitor

The muscle relaxation monitor is primarily used for monitoring patients under surgical anesthesia and in intensive care units (ICUs), enabling continuous, real-time assessment of changes in muscle relaxation levels and reflecting the onset and recovery of muscle relaxant effects. The specific operating procedures are as follows:

1. Before measurement, secure the accelerometer sensor and stimulating electrodes to the patient's thumb and the motor nerve at the wrist, respectively.

2. After powering on the device, follow the software's measurement program to complete initialization and self-diagnosis, then set the intensity of the supramaximal stimulation.

3. Once monitoring begins, the muscle relaxation monitor will deliver stimulation signals in different modes according to various monitoring requirements. Carefully observe the numerical changes displayed on the monitor screen.

4. After monitoring ends, analyze and process the collected data, converting the monitoring results into corresponding clinical monitoring parameters.

Operation of the muscle relaxation monitor requires specialized knowledge; it is recommended to perform under the guidance of a qualified physician.
