Newborn and Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation (NIPE™) Monitor for Assessing Pain During Surgery and Interventional Procedures: A Systematic Review
Topic overview
This systematic review evaluates the NIPE monitor, a heart rate variability-based tool designed to objectively assess pain and discomfort in children under 2 years during surgical and interventional procedures. The review examines evidence for NIPE's clinical utility as a non-invasive alternative to subjective pain scales in neonatal and infant populations.
Key takeaways
- NIPE monitor uses heart rate variability to objectively assess pain in children under 2 years old non-invasively.
- Designed specifically for neonatal and infant populations where self-reporting of pain is impossible.
- Systematic review evaluates NIPE's clinical utility during surgical procedures and painful interventions.
- Provides objective pain assessment alternative to behavioral scales in pre-verbal patients.
- Parasympathetic nervous system activity serves as physiologic marker for pain and discomfort in infants.
