16. A method of monitoring the train-of-four ratio of a patient comprising the steps of:
-
monitoring acceleration of a digit of the patient utiling an accelerometer which measures acceleration in three dimensions; transmitting acceleration data from the accelerometer representative of the acceleration monitored in each of the three dimensions; processing the acceleration data; determining a train-of-four ratio based the acceleration measured in each of the three dimensions; and outputting the determined train-of-four ratio on a display. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
