The Nociception Level During General Anesthesia
Status unconfirmed
Conditions studied: Pain
In brief
We are conducting a study to evaluate two investigational devices that may help us better monitor discomfort or pain in anesthetized patients during minimally invasive lung surgery. We want to collect information on how people respond to pain related to their surgery. Currently, we use blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) to check the response to pain. In this study, we will also use two devices called the Medasense PMD-100 and PhysioDoloris monitors to look at measurements of pain. We will compare the measurements from the study devices to the measurements of heart rate and blood pressure. We hope to enroll about 40 subjects in this study at the University of Washington Medical Center.
