Abstract: The invention relates to a method (400) performed by an anesthetizing monitoring unit (110) configured to determine an anesthetized patient state, the method comprising disabling (410) an input port (111) of the anesthetizing monitoring unit (110), transmitting (420) a stimuli signal (Sstimuli) using an output port (112) of the anesthetizing monitoring unit (110), enabling (430) the input port (111) of the anesthetizing monitoring unit (110) with a delay (?T) relative to the transmission of the stimuli signal (Sstimuli), receiving (440) an evoked electromyography, EMG, response signal (SResponse) in response to the transmitted stimuli signal (Sstimuli), determine (450) an anesthetized patient state by determining a neuromuscular function value using properties of the stimuli signal (Sstimuli) and the response signal (SResponse). The invention further relates to an anesthetizing monitoring unit (110) and an anesthetizing monitoring system (100).

Abstract: A medical syringe comprises a cylindrical barrel 1 having therein a plunger 4 which can be axially driven by a plunger rod 3. The plunger rod 3 passes through an aperture in the centre of a finger grip 2 having two finger grip projections 2b at opposite sides thereof. A data carrier means in the form of an electrically or magnetically operable device 2c is mounted near the end of one of the two finger grip projections 2b, with preferably a device 2c mounted near the end of each finger grip projection 2b. The device 2c carries data relating to the medicament contained or to be contained within the syringe, and can be read by a suitably adapted syringe pump when the syringe is mounted thereon to be driven by the syringe pump.
