Meta AnalysisDoes surgical plethysmographic index-guided analgesia affect opioid requirement and extubation time? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis of all relevant clinical trials investigated surgical plethysmographic index (SPI)-guided analgesia's efficacy under general anesthesia for perioperative opioid requirement and emergence time after anesthesia. ⋯ SPI-guided analgesia under general anesthesia could enhance recovery after surgery without increasing the postoperative complication risk. However, it did not affect intraoperative opioid requirement. Notably, SPI-guided analgesia with hypnosis monitoring could effectively reduce intraoperative opioid requirement.
