“Pain monitoring in anesthetized children: first assessment of skin conductance and analgesia‐nociception index at different infusion rates of remifentanil”, recommended preset values for the skin conductance equipment was not used

Skin conductance as a pain assessment tool during chest tube removal: An observational study

“…Thus, Gjerstad et al (2007) and Storm et al (2013) showed that SCR increased after the stimulus. On the opposite, Sabourdin et al (Sabourdin et al, 2013) reported that it was not modified in a similar experiment performed in children, but they used a threshold to analyse SCR which was not in accordance with the recommendations from the manufacturer (Storm, 2013).…”

Perspectives of Autonomic nervous system perioperative monitoring –focus on selected tools

“…When compared to State (SE) and Response Entropy (RE) , SC parameters showed similar discrimination between sound responses at different levels of sedation [10], though RE was found to be more linear and, in a second study, more rapid than SC [11]. Finally, one study reports that analgesia-nociception index (ANI) is better in identifying intraoperative pain in children under general anesthesia; yet the results of the study are doubted [12,13]. The overall role for SC in assessment of depth of anesthesia is still under investigation, though its role as assessment tool of intraoperative analgesia seems more promising.…”
