The ANI monitor is a medical device allowing to measure the response of the autonomic nervous system to a painful stimulus. In the pediatric population under general anesthesia, the ANI score can detect failure of locoregional anesthesia; ANI decreases after painful stimulation during surgery, more markedly with smaller doses of Remifentanil. To date, measurement of ANI in sedated children in pediatric intensive care has not been performed or validated as a method of assessing pain and discomfort.
