Nociception Level Index as a Verbal Tool of Pain in Children
Sponsor: Haseki Training and Research Hospital
Summary
60 children under 6 years old, scheduled for orthopedic surgery for limb fracture or neuromuscular and bone deformities will be randomized by closed envelope method into two groups (n=30) either receiving standard pain management protocol or intraoperative NOL guided analgesia. Our study aims to evaluate the nociception monitor's effectiveness in providing adequate postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients. Besides, the difference between the amount of analgesic medication will be recorded. Data to be recorded are total intraoperative morphine and postoperative rescue analgesic consumption, NOL values, and FLACC scores.

The nociception level index monitorization
The nociception level index (NOL) is one of the nociception monitors and stands out from the others with its multi-parameter evaluation. It is generated from five different parameters (heart rate, heart rate variability, skin conductance level, photo-plethysmography waveform amplitude, number of skin conductance fluctuations, and their time derivatives).
