NCT05732896

Brief Summary

In this prospective, randomized controlled study, we hypothesized that nociception level index monitoring reduced opioid administration during surgery. The secondary goals are to compare the total dose hypnotic drugs, as well as hemodynamic parameters, and to investigate the relationship between changes in the NOL index and HR change following severe noxious stimuli during effect site TCI of propofol and remifentanil in patients undergoing intracranial tumor surgery who are monitored using either standard monitors or the NOL monitor additionally.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • comparison of administered remifentanil doses (mcg/kg/min)

    This data will be obtained from the TCI device. Demographic data such as the patient's gender, age, weight, etc. are entered into the TCI device. The TCI device displays the total duration of the operation as hour and the total amount of drug used as microgram. To control for patient weight and duration of surgery, we report the anesthesia drug doses as dose/kg/min of anesthesia time.The remifentanil administration dose is indicated in mcg/kg/min. "kg" is patient's actual body weight. "min" is operating time in minutes.

    throughout the operation

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • comparison of hemodynamic parameters

    throughout the operation

  • comparison of variability NOL index during severe noxious stimuli

    throughout the operation

  • comparison of variability Heart rate during severe noxious stimuli

    throughout the operation

  • comparison of administered propofol dose (mg/kg/min)

    throughout the operation

Study Arms (2)

control group

NO INTERVENTION

standard care group

study group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

NOL guided group

Device: Nociception Leve Indeks

Interventions

During TIVA-TCI, propofol (Schnider) effect site concentration (Ce) was titrated to BIS score between 40-60 and remifentanil (Minto) Ce to standard hemodynamic parameters in the control group and NOL index value between 10-25 in the study group.
