Brief Summary
Condition of the State: (terminated, recruiting, etc.) Terminated Study Design: Main Objective: Compare the frequency and intensity of coughing at the time of extubation with two infusions of remifentanil that predict a plasma concentration (PC) of 3 - 4 and 2 - 3 ng/ml, through the technique of target controlled anesthesia

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Cough
Number of episodes and duration of cough that occur when the patient responds to verbal stimulus and extubated. Cough Scale * Grade 0 = No cough * Grade 1 = Mild (only episode of cough) * Grade 2 = Moderate (more than 1episode of cough during less than 5 seconds) * Grade 3 = Severe (More than one episode of cough that lasted more than 5 seconds or purposeless movements of the extremities).
It is evaluated by the scale of cough over a two hour period after surgery: is assessed at 5 minutes turned off the halogenated inhalation anesthetics, thereafter every minute until the patient responds to verbal stimulus and can be extubated
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Wake time.
During two hours after surgery, five minutes after turning off halogenated inhaled anesthetics, then every minute until the patient opens his eyes and is extubated.
Ramsay scale at the time of extubation
During two hours after surgery, the estimated time period during which the event was assessed five (5) minutes after every minute, until answered
Study Arms (2)
Extubation U
ACTIVE COMPARATORRemifentanil concentration between 2 - 3 ng/ml.
Extubation T
EXPERIMENTALRemifentanil concentration between 3 - 4 ng/ml
Interventions
Dose of remifentanil according to the randomization; the infusions that were used to reach the PC target were: * 20 years old - 6.0 mcg/Kg/h * 30 years old - 5.7 mcg/Kg/h * 40 years old - 5.3 mcg/kg/h * 50 years old - 5.0 mcg/kg/h * 60 years old - 4.6 mcg/kg/h * 70 years old - 4.3 mcg/kg/h * 80 years old - 4.0 mcg kg/h.
Dose of infusion of remifentanil to reach a PC 3 - 4 ng/ml, in the following manner: The assistant placed the infusion balloon in such a way that it could not be seen by the treating anesthesiologist, he proceeded to open the corresponding wrapping according to the consecutive which corresponds to the patient. The remifentanil dose was adjusted according to the randomization: * 20 years old - 9.0 mcg/Kg/h * 30 years old - 8.5 mcg/Kg/h * 40 years old - 8.0 mcg/kg/h * 50 years old - 7.5 mcg/kg/h * 60 years old - 7.0 mcg/kg/h * 70 years old - 6.5 mcg/kg/h * 80 years old - 6.0 mcg kg/h.
