Key result
The number of skin conductance fluctuations (NSCF) correlated better with clinical stress during intubation (r2=0.73, P<0.0005) than RE-Delta (r2=0.33, P=0.007).
Why the study?
Does the number of skin conductance fluctuations (NSCF) correlate better with clinical stress during general anaesthesia compared to entropy measures?
Population
20 women scheduled for gynaecological laparotomy

Skin conductance fluctuations are a more sensitive indicator of clinical stress during intubation and noxious stimulation than entropy measures, though response entropy reacts faster during emergence.

Gjerstad et al. (2006) studied gynaecological laparotomy (n=20). Number of skin conductance fluctuations (NSCF) vs. RE-Delta was evaluated on Correlation with clinical stress score during intubation (r2=0.73, p=<0.0005). The number of skin conductance fluctuations (NSCF) correlated better with clinical stress during intubation (r2=0.73, P<0.0005) than RE-Delta (r2=0.33, P=0.007).
