The present disclosure relates to various methods for determining a neuromuscular blockade status and systems suitable for performing such methods. The present disclosure further relates to electro-stimulation electrodes for stimulating a muscle of a patient, optionally in the context of at least some of the mentioned methods. The present disclosure still further relates to hybrid air-signal connectors for use in an electro-stimulation cuff which can be used in the context of at least some of the cited methods. The present disclosure also relates to electro-stimulation circuits comprising an electrode portion and a track portion suitable for pressure cuffs for electro-stimulation, and to pressure cuffs configured to be arranged around a limb of a patient and comprising an active electro-stimulation electrode and a passive electro-stimulation electrode. These electro-stimulation circuits and pressure cuffs may also be used in the context of at least some of the mentioned methods.
