Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The changes in 'left ventricular end-diastolic volume', 'effective arterial elastance', and 'end-systolic pressure-volume relationship' before and after the administration of the test anesthetic will be measured. A test will be conducted to determine whether there is a significant difference in the amount of change between the two groups, and a 95% confidence interval will be calculated. If the data are normally distributed, a non-paired t-test will be conducted, and if they are not normally distributed, a Mann-Whitney U test will be conducted. If necessary, we will also conduct multivariate analysis that takes into account missing values and allocation factors. This study is a preliminary study, and the main purpose is to estimate the factors that have the greatest impact on circulatory dynamics and to determine the sample size for the next study. Therefore, the main evaluation items, effect size, and sample size for the next study will be determined based on the results obtained. The following methods will be used to measure each item. 1: Left ventricular end-diastolic volume: The volume of the left ventricle will be measured using three-dimensional echocardiography via a transthoracic echocardiogram. 2: Effective arterial elastance: This will be calculated using data obtained from a transthoracic echocardiogram and invasive arterial pressure measurement. 3: End-systolic pressure-volume relationship: This will be calculated using data obtained from a transthoracic echocardiogram and invasive arterial pressure measurement.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The following items will be measured for changes before and after the administration of the study drugs. 1: Blood pressure information, 2: Heart rate, 3: Stroke volume, 4: Cardiac output (cardiac index), 5: Left ventricular ejection fraction, 6: Left ventricular volume, 7: Body vascular resistance, 8: Time to loss of consciousness, 9: Bispectral Index after administration of anesthetic A test will be conducted to determine whether there is a significant difference between the two groups. If the data are normally distributed, a non-paired t-test will be used, and if they are not normally distributed, a Mann-Whitney U test will be used to calculate a 95% confidence interval. If necessary, missing values will be supplemented and multivariate analysis will be conducted taking into account the allocation factors. 10: The amount of loss of consciousness for each anesthetic will be investigated. The correlation between changes in blood pressure and 11: preload, 12: afterload, and 13: contractility will be investigated.
