Claim 13:
14. A method of administering a paralysis agent to a patient, the method comprising:
attaching a nerve stimulation device to a patient's anatomy that includes a nerve;
attaching a first recording device to the patient's anatomy that includes a target muscle group associated with the nerve, wherein the first recording device is configured to record electrical activity associated with an evoked muscle response in the target muscle group to the nerve stimulation device;
attaching a second recording device to the patient's anatomy that is disposed away from the target muscle group, wherein the second recording device is configured to record electrical activity associated with electrical impulses to the nerve from the nerve stimulation device;
administering a first dose of a paralysis agent to the patient;
transmitting a series of low voltage electrical impulses from the nerve stimulation device to the patient, wherein the low voltage electrical impulses are 4 millivolts or less;
receiving, in response to the low voltage electrical impulses, a first response signal corresponding to the evoked muscle response in the target muscle group of the patient at the first recording device;
receiving, in response to the low voltage electrical impulses, a second response signal corresponding to the electrical activity in the patient's anatomy that is disposed away from the target muscle group at the second recording device;
using information related to the first response signal and the second response signal to determine an amount of the paralysis agent to administer as a second dose; and
administering the second dose of the paralysis agent to the patient.
