Abstract: Muscle relaxant monitor is a research hotspot in the field of clinical anesthesiology. According to the research status at home and abroad, combing the developing history of muscle relaxant monitor, detecting principle, a variety of electrical stimulation mode, and a variety of detection ways, this study reviews and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various testing methods and application status, provides technical research foundation for the degree of nerve block for quantitative assessment of muscle relaxant monitor instrument design. Meanwhile, we advocate that clinicians should use quantitative muscle relaxant monitor as much as possible in the perioperative period to reasonably guide the use of muscle relaxants so as to reduce the risk of complications caused by residual effects of muscle relaxants and provide more scientific and accurate digital guidance for assessing the degree of muscle relaxants of patients.
