ABSTRACT:
From a fluctuation of pulse periods of a subject continuously measured by a pulse period measuring device, a first pulse period fluctuation signal HFC.sub.RR which corresponds to a first pulse period fluctuation component produced in substantial synchronism with a respiration of the subject and a second pulse period fluctuation signal LFC.sub.RR which corresponds to a second pulse period fluctuation component having a predetermined frequency lower than a frequency of the first pulse period fluctuation component are extracted by a pulse period fluctuation signal extracting means. Then, based on a ratio (HFC.sub.RR /LFC.sub.RR) of the first pulse period fluctuation signal HFC.sub.RR to the second pulse period fluctuation signal LFC.sub.RR, an anesthetic depth of the subject is calculated by an anesthetic depth calculating means. Thus, the present apparatus can objectively or quantitatively calculate the anesthetic depth of the subject. Additionally, the apparatus can accurately measure the anesthetic depth of the subject without needing operator's skill or the like.
