Summary
This study evaluates the validity of pupil diameter as an indicator of pain during surgery under general anesthesia.
Detailed description
Pupil diameter is known to be strongly correlated with sympathetic tone. During surgery under general anesthesia, there is no standardized means of pain assessment. As pain activates sympathetic nervous system, we hypothesized that pupil diameter can be a marker for pain during surgery.
