About this study
Official title: Usefulness of Pupillary Reflex on Remifentanil and Morphine Consumption During Laparoscopic Surgery. A Bicentric, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether analgesia guided by pupillary reflex during laparoscopic surgery is effective in opioid sparing (intraoperative remifentanil and postoperative morphine).This is a prospective, randomized, controlled study performed in two centers.
Read the detailed description
For now, intraoperative analgesia remains hard to assess in the absence of reliable and validated analgesia monitor. The analysis of pupillary reflex is a new tool to assess analgesia during the intraoperative and postoperative period.
During laparoscopic surgery, carbon dioxide insufflation that produce pneumoperitoneum may induce hemodynamics events such as tachycardia or hypertension. These events may be misleading or confusing. Actually, these events are mainly considered as insufficient analgesia. Thus, anesthesiologists deepen analgesia and/or anesthesia by increasing concentration of anesthetics or opioids. These inappropriate actions may induce hypotension and/or bradycardia especially in elderly patients. On the contrary, insufficient analgesia may exist in hypovolemic patients or in patients with neuromuscular blocking agents.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Pupillometry guided analgesia (PP)Device
Also called Algiscan Neurolight, Pupillometer
Analgesia is guided by pupillary reflex provided by the pupillometer (AlgiScan). The anesthesiologist in charge must adjust the peroperative remifentanil dose (Target controlled infusion) during surgery according to the algorithm proposed (Tailored remifentanil controlled infusion). Administration of antihypertensive drugs or vasopressors is also guided.
Tailored remifentanil controlled infusionDrug
Also called Traget controlled infusion, TCI
The anesthesiologist in charge must adjust the peroperative remifentanil dose (Target controlled infusion) during surgery according to the algorithm proposed
Tailored antihypertensive drug administrationDrug
Also called Esmolol, Nicardipine, Urapidil
Administration of antihypertensive drugs or vasopressors is guided by the results of the pupillary reflex.

| Pupillometry guided analgesia (PP) | Experimental | Analgesia is guided by pupillary reflex. The anesthesiologist in charge must adjust the peroperative remifentanil dose (Target controlled infusion) during surgery according to the algorithm proposed. Administration of antihypertensive drugs or vasopressors is also guided. Receives: Device: Pupillometry guided analgesia (PP); Drug: Tailored remifentanil controlled infusion; Drug: Tailored antihypertensive drug administration |
| Standard practice (ST) | No intervention | Anesthesia and analgesia is left to the discretion of the anesthesiologist in charge. The anesthesiologist is blinded to the results of pupillometry. |

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Peroperative Remifentanil consumption (time frame: From the start of anesthesia to the end of surgery (<10 hours)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02116868, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Nov 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
