The main objective of Irene's work is compare different nociception monitors which use diverse methods to calculate the nociceptive in surgical procedures under general anesthesia.

To achieve this aim, the following specific studies are stated:

1. Find out how similar the nociception monitors are during surgery in different patients, even though they use different methods and indices to show the clinical state.

2. Demonstrate the ability of nociception monitors to predict patient pain versus two types of nociceptive stimuli (tetanus and Laryngeal Mask Airway), by performing statistical analysis. The pain, in this study, is related to the patient's movement.

3. Distinguish the parameters that negatively affect the nociception indices ending in an erroneous assessment of the patient’s state.
