Meta AnalysisDoes Nociception Level Index-Guided Opioid Administration Reduce Intraoperative Opioid Consumption? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
The nociception level (NOL) index is a quantitative parameter derived from physiological signals to measure intraoperative nociception. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate if NOL monitoring reduces intraoperative opioid use compared to conventional therapy (opioid administered at clinician discretion). ⋯ This meta-analysis does not provide evidence supporting the role of NOL monitoring in reducing intraoperative opioid consumption.
