Abstract: A device for auricular punctual stimulation of a patient, including an electrical current generator for generating electrical stimulation pulses and electrical lines for connecting to one electrode each to be positioned on the ear, at least two of which electrodes can be acted on by the stimulation pulses, and further including measurement means for determining at least one physiological measured value of the patient. The measurement means are designed to determine the at least one physiological measured value by means of impedance plethysmography via the electrodes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical analysis device (1) for assessing a patient's suitability for anaesthesia by analysing at least one physiological biosignal (S) detected during an apnoea, wherein the medical analysis device (1) comprises the following: —an input interface (2) for detecting a time curve of at least one physiological biosignal (S) of a patient, —a computing unit (3) which is configured to compare a time curve of the at least one physiological biosignal (S) with at least one predefinable curve or a limit value according to an algorithm (4) in order to determine a patient's suitability for anaesthesia and to calculate an assessment result (E) depending thereon, wherein the time curve of the at least one physiological biosignal (S) comprises at least the duration of a patient's apnoea, and —an output interface (5) connected to the computing unit (3), to output the assessment result.
