Sponsor's own description

The perfusion index (PI) is the ratio of the pulsatile to the non-pulsatile blood flow in peripheral tissue. It represents a non-invasive measure of peripheral perfusion that can be continuously obtained from a pulse oximeter. This property explains the fact that it decreases with vasoconstriction and increases with vasodilatation. An increase in PI was proved to be an early indicator for the success of general and regional anaesthesia, which cause initial peripheral vasodilatation before the onset of anaesthetic effect. Whereas a failed increase in PI would suggest failure of anaesthesia. The PI has been reported to decrease when noxious stimulus was applied to anaesthetized volunteers. A recent study on critically ill non-intubated patients has demonstrated a good correlation between changes in PI and changes in Behavioral Pain Scale-non intubated values after a painful stimulus was applied. Despite the rising use of perfusion index in anaesthesia and intensive care, few studies have investigated its capability as a pain assessment tool, and to our knowledge, it has not been investigated in intubated critically ill patients yet.
