This review presents the experience with neuromuscular block monitoring get over the last decades. Basic principles of neuromuscular block are reviewed together with peripheral nerve stimulation techniques. There are outlined distinct methods of neuromuscular monitoring with different types of its record. The characteristic of ideal nerve stimulator for clinical practice are outlined. In the final part of the chapter there is discussed neuromuscular monitoring in anaesthesiology.

        Key words: neuromuscular block – stimulation–principle, location and modes – mechanomyography – electromyography – accelerography
