Key Points

To evaluate the performance of the multi-parameter Nociception Level (NOL) index for assessing pain in postoperative cardiac surgery patients in the intensive care unit.
Monitored physiological pain responses using the multi-parameter NOL index during nociceptive and non-nociceptive procedures in postoperative cardiac surgery patients in the intensive care unit.
Evaluated the correlation between NOL index measurements and patients' self-reported pain levels.
The NOL index successfully discriminated between nociceptive and non-nociceptive procedures in postoperative cardiac patients.
NOL index values demonstrated a positive association with patient self-reported pain scores.

Implication

Clinical study demonstrates nociception level index discriminates pain responses after cardiac surgery, indicating its potential for objective monitoring in intensive care units.
