The analysis of publications is devoted to the application of skin conductance monitoring in anesthesiology and intensive care. Rates of skin conductance (baseline values, the amplitude and frequency of the waves) are closely linked with the state of the sympathic nervous system. According to their dynamics it is possible to judge on the pain and stress in patients with whom the contact is difficult: newborns, infants, patients of all age groups during general anesthesia and in critical condition. According to published data monitoring skin conductance showed itself as a sensitive and promising method to identify and determine the severity of pain in all age groups, approaching by its characteristics the theses of the pain assessment perfect tool.
