Pain Assessment During Rapid Sequence Induction

Rapid sequence induction (RSI) is a standard anesthesia technique used in patients at risk of aspiration. Although tracheal intubation following RSI is a frequent and painful procedure, no study has yet evaluated nociception using the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) during this procedure. This monocentric prospective observational study aims to describe the impact of RSI on pain measured by ANI, and to explore early complications (desaturation, hypotension, regurgitation) and factors associated with pain and complications. 150 patients undergoing RSI in the visceral surgery operating room at CHPG Monaco will be analyzed.
