qNOX Response to Nociceptive Motor Events During Procedural Sedation
Performance of the CONOX Monitor Without Neuromuscular Blockade: qCON and qNOX Responses to Nociceptive Motor Events During Procedural Sedation
Ankara University

OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether the CONOX monitor can detect pain during sedation in patients undergoing urological procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the qNOX index respond to pain-related motor responses during urological procedural sedation? Does the qNOX index show greater responsiveness to painful episodes compared to blood pressure and heart rate? Participants undergoing urological procedures (such as cystoscopy) under sedation as part of their regular medical care will have continuous brain activity monitoring with the CONOX device. All monitoring displays (CONOX monitor, vital signs monitor, and target-controlled infusion pump) will be video-recorded throughout the procedure to capture synchronized data including qCON, qNOX, EMG, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and drug concentrations. Researchers will analyze the relationship between these indices and spontaneous movements triggered by painful stimulation to evaluate the monitor's performance compared to traditional vital signs.
