| Abstract | A simple peripheral nerve stimulator is used for assessment of neuromuscular block by drug (muscle relaxant) during anesthesia by visual impression of finger movement which is only a subjective assessment. We proposed the peripheral nerve stimulator with electromyography which is used for monitoring of muscle relaxation during the conduct of anesthesia for surgical procedure which is a integral part of patient safety. The innovation consists in using EMG sensor for sensing electrical signal from a muscle that is action potential which will show the magnitude of muscle contraction leading to the finger movement and is more precise, calibrated and hence perfect, objective in nature qualitatively and quantitatively. We used microcontroller as PWM generator to apply various stimulation modes which stimulates the motor nerve.
