Brief summary

The investigators hypothesized that both propofol and desflurane would decrease the regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) but propofol is likely to reduce rSO2 more than sevoflurane when patients are raised to the sitting position.

Detailed description

The investigators hypothesized that both propofol and desflurane would decrease the rSO2 but propofol is likely to reduce rSO2 more than sevoflurane when patients are raised to the sitting position. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of desflurane and propofol on rSO2 values during the beach chair position for shoulder arthroscopy.

Interventions

DRUGpropofol

anaesthesia was induced with the effect-site concentration of propofol 5.0 μg ml-1 mainly.

DRUGDesflurane

anaesthesia was maintained by desflurane 4-7vol%

DRUGalfentanil

administration of alfentanil 10 μg kg-1 for anesthetic induction

DRUGRocuronium

administration of rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1 for anesthetic induction

Propofol
anaesthesia was induced with the effect-site concentration of propofol 5.0 μg ml-1, alfentanil 10 μg kg-1, and rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1. A commercially available target controlled infusion (TCI) pump (Orchestra®, Fresenius Vial, France) was used and the pharmacokinetic set used to calculate target effect-site concentrations for propofol was Schnider and colleagues' model

Outcome results

Primary

Regional Cerebral Oxygen Satuation (rSO2)

definitive values of regional cerebral oxygen saturation(rSO2,%) values are described as mean (SD)

Time frame: 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 min after the beach chair position

Population: A power analysis was calculated based on a previous study.14 In each group, 16 patients were needed to detect a mean intergroup difference of 5% in the rSO2 value with a power of 80% and a type I error of 0.05. To compensate for a dropout rate of 20%, 40 patients were included in this study.
