While anesthetizing, especially it is method and the device in order to monitor the quiet level of the patient where the inside of stage before the technique is quieted. This method includes the process which decides the aforementioned quiet level on the basis of process and the aforementioned derivative signal which calculate the derivative signal of the aforementioned conductance signal which it is related to process and the time when the skin conductance signal which was measured in the territory where it has the skin of the patient is obtained.< Selective figure >Figure 2麻酔中、特には術前段階中の鎮静された患者の鎮静レベルをモニタするための方法及び装置である。本方法は患者の皮膚のある領域で測定した皮膚コンダクタンス信号を得る工程と、時間に関連した前記コンダクタンス信号の導関数信号を計算する工程と、前記導関数信号に基づいて前記鎮静レベルを定める工程を含む。【選択図】図2
