Prediction of Hemodynamic Response to Intubation by ANI Variation During Standardized Stimulation

Under steady state total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil at constant dosage, tetanus stimulation of the ulnar nerve was performed followed by orotracheal intubation. The variation of ANI and hemodynamic parameters as well as the somatic response associated with both maneuvers were collected.
