About
Pupillary diameter monitoring is currently used routinely for assessment of the nociception / antinociception balance during surgery.
Pupillary diameter decreases reflexively in response to light flash, called photomotor reflex. The photomotor reflex is described by the latency between the light flash and the beginning of the decay expressed in milliseconds, the slope or decay rate expressed in millimeters per second, and the percentage of variation, corresponding to the ratio between the basal pupil diameter and the minimum diameter reached during the light stimulation.
The AlgiScan™ videopupillometer used includes a device for producing a flash light, designed for this purpose.
It has recently been shown that the slope (or rate) of pupillary diameter decrease during a light flash varies during anesthesia, independently of any nociceptive stimulus.
Full description
The hypothesis of this study is the variation of the decay slope of the pupil diameter is proportional to the depth of the anesthesia.
