Monitoring surgical nociception using multisensor physiological models.

ABSTRACT: Monitoring nociception, the flow of information associated with harmful stimuli through the nervous system even during unconsciousness, is critical for proper anesthesia care during surgery. Currently, this is done by tracking heart rate and blood pressure by eye. Monitoring objectively a patient's nociceptive state remains a challenge, causing drugs to often be over- or underdosed intraoperatively. Inefficient management of surgical nociception may lead to more complex postoperative pain management and side effects such as postoperative cognitive dysfunction, particularly in elderly patients. We collected a comprehensive and multisensor prospective observational dataset focused on surgical nociception (101 surgeries, 18,582 min, and 49,878 nociceptive stimuli), including annotations of al
