Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: ANI guided remifentanil arm
remifentanil targets are increased or decreased depending on ANI readings. In case of high blood pressure associated with elevated ANI, nicardipine is administered.
|
Procedure: ANI guided remifentanil
remifentanil administration during propofol anesthesia for laparoscopic surgery is ANI guided |
ANI blind arm
remifentanil target is adapted as is usual during general anesthesia, depending on hemodynamic reactions to nociceptive surgical stimulations. In case of elevated blood pressure despite a maximum target of 10 ng/ml (Minto Pk/pD model), then nicardipine is administered.
|
Procedure: ANI blind arm
remifentanil administration during propofol anesthesia for laparoscopic surgery is not ANI guided |
- Proportion of patients presenting at least once with hemodynamic reactivity, hypotension or bradycardia [ Time Frame: end of surgery (around 60 to 90 min after start) ]
- total administered remifentanil [ Time Frame: end of surgery ]
- number of target changes [ Time Frame: end of surgery (around 60 to 90 min after start) ]
- morphine sulfate total administration after end of surgery [ Time Frame: during two hours after end of surgery ]
- Visual Analog Scale evaluation of pain after surgery [ Time Frame: during two hours after end of surgery ]
- ANI measure during surgery [ Time Frame: from start to end of surgery (around 60 to 90 min) ]
- number of bradycardia and hypotension [ Time Frame: from start to end of surgery (around 60 to 90 min ) ]
- total administered dose of ephedrine [ Time Frame: between start and end of anesthesia ]
