Performance Evaluation of ANI in Patients Under General Anesthesia With Remimazolam

May 29, 2024 updated by: Jungmin Lee, Catholic Kwandong University

Performance Evaluation of Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) in Patients Under General Anaesthesia With Remimazolam: a Prospective Observational Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) can effectively reduce the dose of opioid in patients who underwent general anesthesia using remimazolam.

Patients

  • aged 20-80 years under general anaesthesia with remimazolam
  • scheduled to undergo robotic surgery
  • in American Society of Anesthesiologists physical class 1, 2 or 3

The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of ANI in patients undergoing surgery with remifentanil and remimazolam.

During this study, remimazolam infusion rate is determined by the pharmacopoeia.

Remifentanil infusion rate is determined based on the patient's vital signs, systemic status and pain levels. And remifentanil is administrated via targeted infusion control using the Minto model.

ANI scores, vital signs, remifentanil infusion rate are collected at predetermined time points according to the protocol from the start to the end of the surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
ANI values
Time Frame: During Surgery (at the points of intubation, skin incision, CO2 insufflation, TOF stimulation, and hemodynamic change)
A value indicating the degree of pain calculated by ANI's algorithm
During Surgery (at the points of intubation, skin incision, CO2 insufflation, TOF stimulation, and hemodynamic change)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Heart Rate (HR) change
Time Frame: Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes before and Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes after pain stimulation
Because the ANI value is calculated using the change in HR, it is measured to correlate the change in ANI value with the change in HR due to pain.
Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes before and Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes after pain stimulation
Patient state index (PSI) change
Time Frame: Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes before and Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes after pain stimulation
The PSI is an indicator of a patient's depth of sedation and is calculated based on EEG, which can change in response to painful stimuli. The PSI score is expressed as a number between 0 and 100, and it is usually recommended to maintain under 60 during surgery. An increase in the PSI score can indicates the degree of pain stimulus and can be used as an indicator to assess the validity of the ANI value.
Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes before and Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes after pain stimulation
Blood Pressure change
Time Frame: Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes before and Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes after pain stimulation
When a patient feels pain, it stimulates the autonomic nervous system to change blood pressure. This change is measured to determine how much pain the patient is feeling
Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes before and Every 2 seconds for 2.5 minutes after pain stimulation
Remimazolam infusion rate
Time Frame: During Surgery (at the points of intubation, skin incision, CO2 insufflation, TOF stimulation, and hemodynamic change)
Remimazolam is a sedative. The infusion rate of remimazolam correlates with sedation level. And it is measured to determine if sedation level correlates with ANI values when pain stimuli are given.
During Surgery (at the points of intubation, skin incision, CO2 insufflation, TOF stimulation, and hemodynamic change)
Effect site concentration of remifentanil
Time Frame: During Surgery (at the points of intubation, skin incision, CO2 insufflation, TOF stimulation, and hemodynamic change)
Remifentanil is an opioid and can affect pain levels when given a pain stimulus.
During Surgery (at the points of intubation, skin incision, CO2 insufflation, TOF stimulation, and hemodynamic change)

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hemodynamic change
Time Frame: within 5 minutes of pain stimulus
When there are changes of heart rate or blood pressure more than 20% from baseline within 5 minutes of pain stimulus
within 5 minutes of pain stimulus
