Abstract
A muscle relaxation monitoring apparatus includes: a stimulating circuit that stimulates a nerve of a living body; a signal detecting circuit that detects an electric signal generated by a muscle reacting to the stimulation performed by the stimulating circuit; a reaction time calculating circuit that calculates a reaction time which elapses from the stimulation of the nerve by the stimulating circuit until the electric signal is detected by the signal detecting circuit; and a relaxation degree determining circuit that determines a muscle relaxation degree of the living body based on the length of the reaction time calculated by the reaction time calculating circuit.
