The Relationship Between the SPI and the Postop ED

Conditions
General Anesthesia
Interventions
Device: SPI monitor (GE Healthcare, Helsinki, Finland)
Registration Number
NCT03328910
Lead Sponsor
Daegu Catholic University Medical Center
Brief Summary

Surgical plethysmography index (SPI) is a device that can noninvasively monitor the balance between the nociception and ant-nociception using pulse photoplethysmographic amplitude (PPGA) and heart rate obtained through an oxygen saturation measuring device. SPI has recently been studied as a useful tool to monitor the stress response of patients due to surgery or anesthesia and to guide the appropriate use of analgesics/anesthetics. However, these SPI devices have been developed for adults and have not been studied in pediatric patients with relatively high heart rates, and no direct effects on post-operative arousal excitability have been reported.

GroupInterventionDescription
Analgesia monitoringSPI monitor (GE Healthcare, Helsinki, Finland)After anesthesia induction, all participants received standard anesthesia monitoring, SPI monitor (GE Healthcare, Helsinki, Finland) and bispectral index (BIS). BIS was kept between 40-60, whereas no specific target was determined for SPI. At the end of surgery, anesthesia was terminated and the patients were stimulated to wake up. After the participants were able to breathe spontaneously and obey verbal commands, extubation was carefully performed, and the monitoring of SPI was stopped.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Relationship between the SPI during emergence time and the peak emergence delirium scoreObservation from approximately 1 hour after the end of operation

The SPI is attained from waveform finger plethysmography. It is expressed as a numerical index between 0 (total absence of discomfort) and 100 (high stress level) with an increase after noxious stimulation. We will investigate the relationship between the SPI during emergence period and the pediatric assessment of emergence delirium (PAED) score.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The sensitivity and specificity of the SPI in detecting the emergence deliriumObservation from approximately 1 hour after the end of operation

Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves and the associated areas under the curves (AUC) were computed to characterize the sensitivity and specificity of the SPI in detecting a pediatric emergence at different PAED scores.
