Key result
The Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) dropped from ±55 to ±35 before the decision to give opioids and returned to ±60 after fentanyl, whereas heart rate remained unchanged.
Why the study?
Does the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) predict insufficient antinociception better than heart rate in paediatric surgical patients under sevoflurane anaesthesia?

Does the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) predict insufficient antinociception better than heart rate in paediatric surgical patients under sevoflurane anaesthesia?
The Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) appears to be a better predictor of insufficient antinociception and re-establishment of sufficient antinociception than heart rate in children under sevoflurane anaesthesia.
Weber et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Paediatric surgical patients under sevoflurane anaesthesia. Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) vs. Heart rate was evaluated on Predictive value to help decide to give additional opioids. The Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) dropped from ±55 to ±35 before the decision to give opioids and returned to ±60 after fentanyl, whereas heart rate remained unchanged.
