Pupillometry Guided Remifentanil Administration In Pediatric Anesthesia

April 16, 2024 updated by: Walid HABRE, University Hospital, Geneva

A Prospective Randomized Study Evaluating Pupillometry Guided Remifentanil Administration in Pediatric Anesthesia

The aim of this prospective randomized study is to evaluate the impact of peroperative pupillometry monitoring on per and post-operative opioid consumption in pediatric anesthesia. All patients are anesthetized with sevoflurane and remifentanil. In the intervention group, peroperative remifentanil infusion rate is guided by pupillometry. In the other group, remifentanil infusion rate is guided according to hemodynamic data.
