Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) Guided Analgesia During Sevoflurane Anesthesia

Summary

The aim of the present study was to compare SPI guided analgesia with standard clinical practise during general anesthesia using a balanced setting of sevoflurane and sufentanil anesthesia. It was to be tested whether SPI guided analgesia leads to more cardiovascular stability, less use of analgetics and shorter recovery from anesthesia.
