Brief Summary: After conduction a pilot study, pupillary dilation reflex (PDR) is measured in response to nociceptive stimulation perioperatively in infants, children and adolescents.
Detailed Description: An infrared camera of the video pupillometer measures the pupillary dilation reflex (PDR) in response to incremental nociceptive stimuli. The PDR is a robust reflex, even in patients under general anesthesia, and may provide a potential evaluation of the autonomous nociceptive circuit. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I or II patients from the age of 28 days till 18 years undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia are recruited. Enrolled patients perioperative undergo PDR measurement at 2 different standardized times (before and after opioid administration) generated by an inbuilt pupillary pain index (PPI) protocol. PPI, as a surrogate for nociception includes noxious stimulations from 10 up to 60 milli ampere (mA) until pupil dilation is larger than 13% from baseline diameter. Therefore, no inappropriate high stimulation is executed.
