Brief summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the ratio of hypnotic to analgesic potency of sevoflurane and isoflurane at equi-minimum alveolar concentration using EEG analysis.
Detailed description
Anesthetic agents vary in their relative hypnotic potency. Recent studies demonstrated that equi-minimum alveolar concentration of various volatile anesthetic agents may produce different spectral entropy or bispectral index values. However, there is no study that demonstrate the difference between analgesic potency of volatile anesthetics. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the ratio of hypnotic to analgesic potency of sevoflurane and isoflurane at equi-minimum alveolar concentration using EEG analysis.
Interventions
Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane in patients undergoing standardized nociceptive stimulus (long-lasting tetanic stimulus of the ulnar nerve; 30 s, 50 mA, 50 Hz, square-wave).
Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane in patients undergoing standardized nociceptive stimulus (long-lasting tetanic stimulus of the ulnar nerve; 30 s, 50 mA, 50 Hz, square-wave).
