General Anesthesia
Conditions
Brief summary
Patients were randomized into 2 groups according to the anesthetic, propofol or sevoflurane. Induction and maintenance were standardized, and after the end of surgery, two steady-state recordings were performed at BIS 25 and BIS 55. Bispectral Index and ECG were continuously recorded and cardiac autonomic nervous activity was investigated using spectral analysis of RR Interval variability
Interventions
General anesthesia using sevoflurane as a hypnotic agent
General anesthesia using propofol as a hypnotic agent
General anesthesia using remifentanil as an analgesic.
