Study Overview

Brief Summary

Different pain assessment methods have been proposed to evaluate analgesic efficacy after surgical operation. Pain is a subjective phenomenon. Patient did his pain self assessment. But, cooperation of the patient is limited by cultural differences, language barriers or residual effect of products used while general anesthesia.

A lot of study were conducted to demonstrate and to quantify the pain after an operation. The aim will be dose analgesic treatment better without cooperation of the patient.

This sudy concerns patients on the post anesthesia care units one hour after their arrival. They will have electrocardiogram and video-pupillometer.

Detailed Description

Primary objective is to compare Variation Coefficient of Pupillary Diameter (VCPD) obtained during a light flash and pain assessment realized thanks to Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Too, Variation Coefficient of Pupillary Diameter (VCPD) with electrocardiogram will be measured to demonstrate a correlation between the three parameters.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Correlation between pupillary diameter (PD) and pain assessment

Time Frame: 1 hour post surgery

Correlation between pupillary diameter (PD) and pain in the post-operative period. PD will be measured by video-pupillometer. Pain will be measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Correlation between pupillary diameter (PD) and heart rate(1 hour post surgery)
