At present, short-acting drugs are used in order to achieve the three components of
anaesthesia, that is, analgesia, hypnosis and immobility. Assessment of the …

Monitors that estimate nociception during anesthesia may be used to guide opioid and other
analgesics administration to optimize anesthesia care and possibly outcome. We reviewed …
