ANI monitor - measuring patient's surgical stress
04 July 2023We are used to assessing "how much pain
is in pain" during general anaesthesia using certain clinical signs, such as
increase in heart rate, blood pressure, etc. These signs are subjective and inaccurate,
inaccuracy and depend on many other factors besides anaesthesia.
As practice shows, the two biggest patients' worries before surgery with general anaesthesia are that they do not wake up during anaesthesia and sufficient anaesthesia.
In case of insufficient anaesthesia, there will be postoperative pain syndrome, sensitisation, which can lead to prolonged postoperative recovery. On the other hand, an overdose of narcotic analgesics can lead to respiratory depression, postoperative nausea and vomiting, opioid-induced hyperalgesia, which in turn also leads to prolonged turn, also leads to prolonged postoperative recovery. Each patient is individual and each patient has the risk of being in the category of those who have been given too many narcotic analgesics, and in the category of those who have not received enough. Also, each patient is individual and standardised dosage is unreliable."
With the help of ANI nociception monitoring anaesthetist can actually:
- objectively assess the level of anaesthesia and stress during surgery;
- avoid insufficient analgesia and overdose of narcotic analgesics;
- react in time to an increase in blood pressure blood pressure and understand the causes of its increase;
- assess whether the level of of pain relief at the end of surgery so that there is no acute pain syndrome after waking up.
