Exploration of Autonomic Nervous System by Photoplethysmography

Intervention Affecting Autonomic Nervous System Clinical Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The autonomic nervous system state (ANSS) and the autonomic nervous system state index (ANSSi) - two indices derived from the pulse photo-plethysmography analysis - have been recently advocated as a measure of sympathetic activity in the anesthetized patients, but their validity has not been yet demonstrated. We will conduct a study aiming to assess if ANSS and ANSSi reflect autonomic nervous system modulation on cardiovascular system in healthy humans under general anaesthesia.
