Summary

General anesthesia (GA) is a state of loss of consciousness induced by anesthetic products. In a GA, two classes of products are usually used: on the one hand, hypnotics that are responsible for the sleep component (hypnosis) and memory loss (amnesia), and on the other hand opioids that have an analgesic role. The doses of hypnotic and morphine necessary to achieve this state of loss of consciousness and lack of response to painful stimulation vary from subject to subject, and during surgery depending on the intensity of the stimulus, requiring permanent adaptation to avoid overdose or underdosing, responsible for morbidity. Several monitors of the hypnotic component have been developed in recent years, which can now be used routinely, such as the Bispectral Index (BIS) or Spectral Entropy. However, there is currently no clinically validated technique for monitoring pain or the effect of opioids in the operating room. Spectral analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG) revealed a significant decrease (-30%) in alpha spectral power, observed specifically in painful experimental conditions in healthy awake subjects. On the other hand, a painful experience is accompanied by transient changes in various parameters under vegetative control, whether cardiovascular, cutaneous or pupillary, essentially underpinned by the activation of the sympathetic system. The investigators hypothesize that a real-time dynamic analysis of the spectral power of EEG combined with that of cardiovascular vegetative parameters, cutaneous conductance and pupillary diameter is likely to be a marker of nociception under GA.
