New monitor may predict pain during intubation
NCT ID NCT04354311
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a device that measures heart rate patterns (called ANI) can predict pain responses when inserting a breathing tube. Researchers gave 60 patients a mild electric shock to mimic pain, then inserted the tube. They found that changes in the ANI score might help anesthesiologists anticipate pain and adjust medication. The goal is to improve patient comfort and safety during anesthesia.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better ways to monitor and manage pain during anesthesia, making intubation safer and more comfortable.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed pilot study with only 60 participants. Results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the ANI score may not reliably predict pain responses.
