A novel non-invasive nociceptive monitoring approach fit for intracerebral surgery: a retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Measuring depth of anesthesia during intracerebral surgery is an important task to guarantee patient safety, especially while the patient is fixated in a Mayfield-clamp. Processed electro-encephalography measurements have been established to monitor deep sedation. However, visualizing nociception has not been possible until recently and has not been evaluated for the neurosurgical setting. In this single-center, retrospective observational analysis, we routinely collected the nociceptive data via a nociception level monitor (NOL^®) of 40 patients undergoing intracerebral tumor resection and aimed to determine if this monitoring technique is feasible and delivers relevant values to potentially base therapeutic decisions on.
