About this trial

This study aims to evaluate esmolol's perfusion impact during induction and maintenance of general anesthesia, using Nociception-Level-guided control of nociception, in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic and lower abdominal surgery, on intraoperative remifentanil consumption and postoperative pain in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers
