What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Endotracheal intubation using laryngoscopeProcedure or surgery

    Endotracheal intubation was done using laryngoscope for general anesthesia.

  • High remifentanilDrug

    Remifentanil was started as 0.25 mcg/kg/min. Remifentanil dose was adjusted to maintain blood pressure (20% of preoperative blood pressure) and bispectral index (40-60) by 0.05 mcg/kg/min.

  • Low remifentanilDrug

    Remifentanil was administered as 0.1 mcg/kg/min.

  • High sevofluraneDrug

    Sevoflurane was started as 0.5 MAC. Sevoflurane dose was adjusted to maintain blood pressure (20% of preoperative blood pressure) and bispectral index (40-60) by 0.2 %.

  • Low sevofluraneDrug

    Sevoflurane was administered as 0.5 MAC.
