ANI Versus Standard Care in Surgical Patients Receiving Balanced Sevoflurane-Fentanyl Anesthesia

March 15, 2024 updated by: Tiffany B Moon, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

A Prospective, Randomized, PACU Blinded Study to Compare ANI-guided Analgesic Administration Versus Standard Care in Surgical Patients Receiving Balanced Sevoflurane-Fentanyl Anesthesia

This study aims to be a randomized, controlled study of ANI-guided opioid administration versus standard clinical practice in surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia with balanced sevoflurane-fentanyl. Patients will be randomly assigned to 2 groups- ANI vs. standard care. The intraoperative and postoperative management of all patients will be standardized by protocol. The PACU nurses and postop assessor will be blinded as to which group the patient is in.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Standard opioid administration
Intraoperative opioid will be administered by guiding standard practice
Intraoperative opioid will be administered according to standard practice during surgery.
Experimental: ANI-guided opioid administration
Intraoperative opioid will be administered based on the analgesia nociceptive index (ANI)
Intraoperative opioid will be administered guided by analgesia nociceptive index (ANI) values measured by ANI monitor (MetroDoloris Medical Systems, Lille, France)
