Performance of surgical stress index during sevoflurane-fentanyl and isoflurane-fentanyl anaesthesia

Effect‐site concentration of remifentanil attenuating surgical stress index responses to intubation of the trachea

“…One weakness of the present study is that a Surgical Stress Index response of 15 or more was selected. Although this was estimated from previous Surgical Stress Index studies, it may not be the correct cut‐off or decision point [7, 8, 13]. Surgical Stress Index values at baseline, before induction of anaesthesia, are suggested to lie at 60–70, after induction of anaesthesia (without stimuli) to lie at 20–40, after intubation of a patient’s trachea to be 50–70, and during surgery 50–70 [7, 8].…”

In our previous study we found that even after a fentanyl bolus of 2 μg.kg −1 Surgical Stress Index values increased from 30–40 to 50–60 during tracheal intubation [13]. According to Struys et al.…”

Monitoring of surgical plethysmographic index as a tool for monitoring the adequancy of antinociceptive protection during general anesthesia

“…Низкие значения указывают либо на снижение уровня хирур-гического воздействия, либо на достаточную концентрацию анальгетиков. У отдельных па-циентов могут наблюдаться различные базовые значения и уровни реакции на болевые воз-действия, поскольку индивидуальные реакции на такие воздействия и на анальгетики могут различаться [7][8][9][11][12][13].…”
