Evaluation of the Pupil Dilation Reflex in Response to Noxious Stimulation in Anaesthetized Children. A Proof of Concept Trial
After conduction a pilot study, pupillary dilation reflex (PDR) is measured in response to nociceptive stimulation perioperatively in infants, children and adolescents.
An infrared camera of the video pupillometer measures the pupillary dilation reflex (PDR) in response to incremental nociceptive stimuli. The PDR is a robust reflex, even in patients under general anesthesia, and may provide a potential evaluation of the autonomous nociceptive circuit. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I or II patients from the age of 28 days till 18 years undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia are recruited. Enrolled patients perioperative undergo PDR measurement at 2 different standardized times (before and after opioid administration) generated by an inbuilt pupillary pain index (PPI) protocol. PPI, as a surrogate for nociception includes noxious stimulations from 10 up to 60 milli ampere (mA) until pupil dilation is larger than 13% from baseline diameter. Therefore, no inappropriate high stimulation is executed.
