Brief summary

The effect of maintenance remifentanil infusion with target controlled infusion during laryngeal mask airway removal on hemodynamic parameters and emergence quality is going to be investigated.

Detailed description

In all patients (control group and remifentanil group induction of anesthesia will be achieved with desflurane and remifentanil.Anesthesia will be maintained with remifentanil (1-4 ng/mL) by TCI target controlled infusion, and desflurane . Throughout the surgery hemodynamic parameters are going to be recorded. As soon as the surgery has been finished, in control group remifentanil infusion and desflurane inhalation is going to be stopped.In remifentanil group,desflurane inhalation is going to be stopped and remifentanil infusion will be maintained until the removal of LMA. During the emergence period the time of eye opening, hemodynamic parameters and emergence quality (score 1-2)are going to be recorded.

Interventions

DRUGremifentanil

1-4 ng/mL i.v. infusion during the surgery, maintenance dosage till LMA removal is 1.5 ng/mL.

Outcome results

Primary

Smooth cLMA Removal Condition (Score 1)

cLMA removal was accepted as successful (score 1) if none of the complications coughing, teeth clenching, gross purposeful movements, breath holding, laryngospasm, and desatura- tion to SpO2\\90% was observed. If any of these compli- cations was observed it was regarded as unsuccessful (score 2)

Time frame: At the end of the surgery

Control GroupSmooth cLMA Removal Condition (Score 1)40 percentage of participants
Comparison: The incidence of complications on removal of the cLMA has been reported 54 % in awake patients group A power analysis indicated that a minimum 16 patients in each group were required to demonstrate a difference that 50% reduction the complications (a power of 80% and α error 0.05).p-value: <0.05Chi-squared
