Method and apparatus for a neuromuscular stimulator

A portable neuromuscular stimulator is disclosed. The neuromuscular stimulator for use with a patient during general anesthesia comprises a housing, a pair of electrode terminals disposed on the outside of the housing, a pulse generator within the housing, wherein the pulse generator is disposed to controllably generate one of TOF and Tetanus stimulations to the electrode terminals, and the pulse generator having an intensity controller to controllably vary the level of intensity of the stimulations. The stimulator also has a liquid crystal display ("LCD") on the outside of the housing, with the LCD being disposed to display a mode of operation and a level of intensity representative of the stimulation being applied to the electrode terminals from said pulse generator.
