Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Physiological Monitoring Device (PMD-200™) system is comprised of a monitor and a designated finger probe containing 4 sensors. The sensors included are Photoplethysmography (PPG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Accelerometer for movement (ACC) and Thermistor for peripheral temperature (TMP).

The PMD-200 is intended to be used for assessing the nociception level in anesthetized patients.

The purpose of the study is confirmation of a reduction in the dosage of remifentanil allowed by the monitoring of nociception by the NOL which could open the way to a double control of the administration of anesthetic agents: control of the administration of hypnotics by the bispectral index (BIS) and control of the administration of opiate by the NOL.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The PMD-200 continuous pain monitor is intended to be used for assessing changes in pain levels. The system monitors the physiological responses to pain using a relative pain index from 0-100, called the Nociception Level (NOL®) index. In the NOL index, 0 represents no nociception or pain and 100 represents high nociception or pain level.

The PMD-200 system consists of a monitor and a specific finger probe containing 4 sensors. The sensors included are Photoplethysmography (PPG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Accelerometer for movement (ACC) and Thermistor for peripheral temperature (TMP).

The PMD-200™ is intended to be used for assessing the nociception level in anesthetized patients. The device is European Conformity (CE) marked and commercially available.

Meier et al. recently published a randomized trial involving 80 patients for major abdominal surgery, one group receiving routine care and the other NOL-guided analgesia. In the latter group, the remifentanil concentration was reduced when NOL values were below 10 or increased when NOL values were above 25 for at least 1 minute. In both groups, propofol was titrated to have bispectral index values between 45 and 55. Remifentanil administration was reduced in the NOL-guided group: 0.119 ± 0.033 vs 0.086 ± 0.032 μg.kg.min (p \< 0.001). In the NOL- guided group, 2 out of 40 (5%) patients had hypotension (mean blood pressure less than 55 mm Hg) compared to 11 out of 40 (28%) in the control group (p = 0.006) and 16 out of 40 (40%) patients received vasoactive drugs vs 25 out of 40 (63%) (p = 0.044).

Previous results cover a small number of patients treated in a single center. The purpose of this study is to confirm this result within a multicenter study involving a larger group of patients. Confirmation of a reduction in the dosage of remifentanil allowed by the monitoring of nociception by the NOL will open the way to a double control of the administration of anesthetic agents: control of the administration of hypnotics by the bispectral index (BIS) and control of the administration of opiate by the NOL.
