5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study aims to be a randomized, controlled study of ANI-guided opioid administration versus standard clinical practice in surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia with balanced sevoflurane-fentanyl. Patients will be randomly assigned to 2 groups- ANI vs. standard care. The intraoperative and postoperative management of all patients will be standardized by protocol. The PACU nurses and postop assessor will be blinded as to which group the patient is in.
