Popis: Background The heart rate variability (HRV)‐derived Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI™) is a continuous noninvasive tool to assess the nociception/antinociception balance in unconscious patients. It has been shown to be superior to haemodynamic variables in detecting insufficient antinociception in children, while little is known about its predictive value. Methods The primary objective of this prospective observational pilot study in paediatric surgical patients under sevoflurane anaesthesia was to compare the predictive value of the ANI and heart rate to help decide to give additional opioids. The paediatric anaesthesiologist in charge was blinded to ANI values. Results In patients with an ANI value
