Quantitative assessment of nociception by qNOX indices during nursing procedures of mechanically ventilated patients in ICU: A prospective observational study
qNOX exhibits a significant correlation with the BPS during nociceptive procedures in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. These findings position qNOX as a promising, objective complementary tool for real-time nociception monitoring in critically ill patients who are deeply sedated, paralyzed, or neurologically impaired.
