Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The area under the curve (AUC) of mean arterial pressure (MAP) below (AUCMAP-) or above (AUCMAP+) the baseline value within 10 minutes after the start of anesthesia induction in both groups;The area under the curve (AUC) of heart rate (HR) below (AUCHR-) or above (AUCHR+) 10% of the baseline value within 10 minutes after the start of anesthesia induction in both groups;

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
