Correlation between incremental remifentanil doses and the Nociception Level (NOL) index response after intraoperative noxious stimuli.
CONCLUSIONS: The NOL value after noxious stimulus decreased with incremental remifentanil doses, showing a significant inverse correlation between the NOL index and opioid doses. The sensitivity and specificity of NOL to discriminate between noxious and non-noxious stimuli suggests its interesting potential as a monitor of nociception intensity during anesthesia.
