Evaluating pain management with ANI during general anesthesia using remimazolam
Performance Evaluation of Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) in Patients Under General Anaesthesia With Remimazolam: a Prospective Observational Study
This study is testing if a new pain measurement tool can help reduce the amount of opioids needed for patients aged 20-79 having robotic surgery while under general anesthesia with remimazolam.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) in reducing opioid dosage for patients undergoing general anesthesia with remimazolam. It focuses on patients aged 20-79 scheduled for robotic surgery and evaluates their pain levels during the procedure. The study will monitor the relationship between ANI readings and opioid requirements, potentially leading to improved pain management strategies.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients aged 20-79 undergoing robotic surgery under general anesthesia with remimazolam.
Not a fit: Patients with conditions affecting the autonomic nervous system or those experiencing significant preoperative pain may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to reduced opioid use and improved pain management for patients undergoing surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of ANI in pain management is gaining interest, this specific application with remimazolam is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
