Pupillometry Guided Remifentanil Administration In Pediatric Anesthesia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this prospective randomized study is to evaluate the impact of peroperative pupillometry monitoring on per and post-operative opioid consumption in pediatric anesthesia. All patients are anesthetized with sevoflurane and remifentanil. In the intervention group, peroperative remifentanil infusion rate is guided by pupillometry. In the other group, remifentanil infusion rate is guided according to hemodynamic data.

Active Comparator: Standard practice Remifentanil infusion guided by usual clinical signs (heart rate, blood pressure). Pupillometry blindly recorded. Anesthesia maintenance with sevoflurane. |
Drug: Remifentanil
Drug: Sevoflurane
Administered to maintain a Bispectral Index between 40 and 60
|
Experimental: Pupillometry Remifentanil infusion guided by changes in pupillary diameter. Anesthesia maintenance with sevoflurane. |
Drug: Remifentanil
Device: Pupillometry
Pupillary diameter measured every 5 minutes
Drug: Sevoflurane
Administered to maintain a Bispectral Index between 40 and 60
