NOL Index in Response to Pacemaker Stimulation

We deactivate the pacemaker to establish baseline measurements of NOL, bispectral index (BIS), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR), recorded every minute for 5 minutes. We then adjust the pacemaker to 90 bpm and 110 bpm in subsequent 5-minute phases to assess the physiological responses. After deactivating the pacemaker to analyze washout effects, we reactivate it at 110 bpm to observe any changes. A temporary disconnection of the NOL monitor for 1 minute tests system reliability, followed by continued monitoring at the same rate for an additional 5 minutes. Each measurement phase averages data from the last 10 seconds each minute to ensure accuracy and reduce artifacts.
