Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pain Threshold Index (PTI) in predicting postoperative pain in children aged 2-16 after surgery.
- Results showed that while PTI performed slightly better than other metrics (like heart rate and mean arterial pressure), its standalone predictive ability was limited.
- Combining PTI with factors such as gender and age improved its accuracy, particularly in older children (ages 9-16), indicating that PTI alone is not reliable for pain prediction in younger patients.
