Brief summary

High dose opioid usage causes intraoperative and postoperative complications. Measuring the perioperative analgesia sufficiency and individual titration of opioids may help to decrease the complications. ANI (analgesia nociception index) technology is used for this purpose. This technology calculates parasympathetic reflex loop and shows nociceptive/antinociceptive balance. The ANI is represented as an index on a scale between 0-100 and this index reflex the parasympathetic nervous system activity and relatively intraoperative analgesia sufficiency. Aim of this study is searching the efficacy of ANI monitorisation intraoperatively in the patients undergoing transsphenoidal pituitary surgery under general anesthesia.
