| Main Objective: This trial was designed to evaluate the hemodynamic and ventilator effects of propofol-based or sevoflurane-based anesthesia induction, in patients undergoing surgery for cervical myelopathy;Secondary Objective: Secondary end-points included the relationship between the two anesthesia induction strategies and intubation conditions as assessed by the Copenhagen score rearranged for fiberoptic intubation, according to jaw relaxation, resistance to fiberoptic bronchoscopy, vocal cord position and movements and reaction to cuff inflation;Primary end point(s): The MAP was measured at 4 time points: before anesthesia induction (T1: baseline), at the end of anesthesia induction when an adequate sedation level, with BIS values 40-50, was achieved (T2: sedation steady state); immediately after placement of the endotracheal tube (T3: intubation); five minutes after tracheal intubation (T4: post-intubation). | — |
