Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the depth of anesthesia by BIS monitoring to validate the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine is effective as a general anesthetic.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To measure the amplitude and latency of the waveform obtained by spinal cord monitoring under general anesthesia using dexmedetomidine, and to evaluate its clinical advantages and safety.
