Summary

This trial will study whether a computer-guided system for administering opioids during surgery is better than standard care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75, with a BMI of 19-35 kg/m2, undergoing abdominal or spinal surgery under general anesthesia with sevoflurane-fentanyl. Participants must speak English or Spanish and have no advanced lung or heart disease. Excluded are those on certain heart medications, chronic opioids users, pregnant/nursing women, and those with irregular heart rhythms.
What is being tested?
The study compares ANI-guided opioid administration to standard care in managing pain during and after surgery. It's randomized: patients are put into the ANI group or standard care by chance. The team assessing post-surgery recovery won't know which group patients were in to avoid bias.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions to opioids such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, drowsiness or respiratory depression. Since it involves surgical procedures under anesthesia, risks associated with general anesthesia also apply.
