Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Remifentanil requirement

    µg/kg/hour required during general anesthesia

    2 to 8 hours

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Norepinephrine requirement

    2 to 8 hours

  • propofol requirement

    2 to 8 hours

  • nicardipine requirement

    2 to 8 hours

  • esmolol requirement

    2 to 8 hours

Study Arms (2)

Nol-Guided Analgesia Group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the Nol-Guided Analgesia Group remifentanil effect site concentration will be adapted to maintain the NOL-index between 10 and 25 throughout the anesthetic.

Device: Nol-Index guided analgesia

Standard Analgesia Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Remifentanil titration in the Standard Analgesia Group will be left at the anesthesiologists discretion (i.e., guided by heart rate, blood pressure, and experience).

Other: Standard Analgesia

Interventions

Monitor that indicates the level of nociception-antinociception balance

Nol-Guided Analgesia Group

Administration of remifentanil based guided by heart rate, blood pressure, and experience

Standard Analgesia Group
