In some examples, a patient monitoring system includes processing circuitry configured to detect an occurrence of a nociception event of a patient during a medical procedure. The processing circuitry may, for example, determine, based at least in part on a nociception parameter of the patient in an interrogation window, a nociception parameter level, determine, based at least in part on the nociception parameter of the patient in a baseline window that corresponds to the interrogation window, a baseline nociception parameter level, determine a difference in nociception parameter levels between the baseline nociception parameter level and the nociception parameter level, detect, based at least in part on the difference in nociception parameter levels, an occurrence of a nociception event, and in response to detecting the occurrence of the nociception event, provide an indication to adjust an amount of analgesic administered to the patient. |
