Brief Summary

This prospective monocentric phamacokinetics study aims to compare plasmatic concentrations of Propofol and Remifentanil required to target a specific range of monitored anesthesia and analgesia during sus-mesocolic surgery in obese and non obese patients.

Detailed Description

Remifentanil and Propofol are administered intravenously as an opioid pain reliever and hypnotic pain reliever during anesthesia. Their advantages are numerous: short half-life allowing anesthesia and rapid awakening, little accumulation, allowing to adapt the level of anesthesia or sedation to each patient, few side effects.

Entropy° is an index derived from the electroencephalographic signal of patients, validated for the evaluation of the level of narcosis during general anesthesia.

ANI ° (nociception index analgesia) is an index using the ventilatory physiological variability of the sinus rhythm validated to monitor patient's analgesia during general anesthesia.

These non-invasive means of analgesia and sedation monitoring allows the clinician to ensure satisfactory levels of anesthesia by administering products at minimum effective doses.

The authors propose to determine whether, for a comparable target effect (analgesia and monitored sedation), plasmatic concentrations and administration rates of propofol and remifentanil necessary during general anesthesia for a comparable surgical stimulus are the same in populations of obese and non obese patients.
