Summary
Individually-tailored administration of the opioid analgesic component during general
anaesthesia is still a challenge for the anesthesiologist. The aim of this protocol is to
look if the gradient response of a nociception index to a calibrated tetanic stimulus during
standard anesthetic conditions, could help to titrate remifentanil analgesia before tracheal
intubation and before skin incision. The studied parameters are the SPI index developed by
General Electric, the "Analgesia Nociception Index" and the pupil dilation using the pupil
scan algometer.
