Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Observation (continuous monitoring) of the analgesia nociception index (ANI) during anaesthesia for elective surgery. Simulataneously monitoring of systolic blood pressure, heart rate and bispectral index.
ANI will be monitored over the entire period of anaesthesia (hence varying times between patients) by means of 2 sticky electrodes applied to the patient's chest. The sampled electrogrardiographic data is then used to calculate cardiac poarasympathetic activity, and finally displayed as a 0-100 score (high numbers mean more comfortable patient).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 288914 0
Predictive value of ANI for changes of systolic blood pressure or heart rate within a 5-minute interval (5 minutes from ANI change) in patients undergoing non-emergency surgery
Timepoint [1] 288914 0
intraoperatively. Multiple events possible. ANI changes > 20% from baseline are named "ANI event". A period of 5 minutes after such event is observed for changes in HR or blood pressure (> 10%)
Secondary outcome [1] 301321 0
Changes in ANI after (within 5 minutes) changes in heart rate or blood pressure ("changes" of HR and BP defined as > 15% from baseline)
Timepoint [1] 301321 0
intraoperatively. Observation of ANI for 5 minutes after changes in heart rate of blood pressure (> + 15% from baseline)

Summary
Brief summary
The Analgesia nociception index (ANI) is a novel score aiming to enable anaesthetists to estimate pain perception in anaesthetized patients. It work via 2 sticky (single use) electrodes applied to the chest (like ECG electrodes) from which it derives ECG data. This is then transformed into an index from 0-100, the ANI which will be larger in states of comfort and smaller in states of more pain. Although non-invasive and risk free, very few data exist to show the association of ANI with standard measures of nociception/pain in unconscious subjects: changes in blood pressure, heart rate or patient movement. We aim to do an observational trial on 30 patients in which we attach ANI monitoring to anaesthetized patients, record the ANI score continuously and match these records with other patient data obtained at the same time (blood pressure, heart rate, patient movement). This should enable us to get a better idea about the predictive value of ANI changes to preempt changes in above mentioned standart observations.
