Anesthesia
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare analgesic effect of sevoflurane and desflurane at equal minimum alveolar concentrations using surgical pleth index.
Detailed description
Volatile anesthetics vary in their relative hypnotic potency. Recent studies demonstrated that equi-minimum alveolar concentration of various volatile anesthetic agents may produce different bispectral index values. However, the difference between analgesic effects of volatile anesthetics have not yet been investigated. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare analgesic effect of sevoflurane and desflurane at equal minimum alveolar concentrations using surgical pleth index-guided remifentanil infusion.
Interventions
End-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was maintained at age-corrected 1 minimum alveolar concentration throughout the study period. The remifentanil infusion rate was adjusted using TCI pump to achieve surgical pleth index between 20 and 50.
End-tidal concentration of desflurane was maintained at age-corrected 1 minimum alveolar concentration throughout the study period. The remifentanil infusion rate was adjusted using TCI pump to achieve surgical pleth index between 20 and 50.
