Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pneumatic compression on post-induction hypotension in elderly patients undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pneumatic compression of lower leg, which is performed during 20 minutes after anesthesia induction period, on post-induction hypotension in elderly patients undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPneumatic compression

Pneumatic compression with preset pressure and cyclic manner is applied from immediately after anesthesia induction to 20 minutes after anesthesia induction in the both legs.
