ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an apparatus for monitoring the neuro-muscular reaction of a patient more particularly, but not exclusively, for the purpose of monitoring curarization and decurarization. This apparatus is characterized in that the piston of the sensor (3) is associated with an at least substantially cylindrical body so as to slide substantially radially to the axis of the body so that, whatever the dimensions of the patient's hand, the piston (35) of the sensor can be actuated no longer by the last but by the first phalanx (10) of the thumb (4) of the hand (5) equipped with the device (1) and in that:
said body is associated with at least one stop (7) disposed so as to provide, by cooperating with at least one of the members, formed by the patient's hand and forearm, a reference for the positioning of the hand (5) along the longitudinal axis (8) of the handle, (6), and
the device includes at least one means (9) for adjusting, substantially along the axis (8) of the handle (6), the relative position of the elements formed by the stop (7) and the detection means (3).
