Study Arms (2)

Low remifentanil and high sevoflurane

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Remifentanil was administered as 0.1 mcg/kg/min. Sevoflurane was started as 0.5 MAC. Sevoflurane dose was adjusted to maintain blood pressure (20% of preoperative blood pressure) and bispectral index (40-60) by 0.2 %.

Procedure: Endotracheal intubation using laryngoscopeDrug: Low remifentanilDrug: High sevoflurane

High remifentanil and low sevoflurane

EXPERIMENTAL

Sevoflurane was administered as 0.5 MAC. Remifentanil was started as 0.25 mcg/kg/min. Remifentanil dose was adjusted to maintain blood pressure (20% of preoperative blood pressure) and bispectral index (40-60) by 0.05 mcg/kg/min.

Procedure: Endotracheal intubation using laryngoscopeDrug: High remifentanilDrug: Low sevoflurane

Interventions

Endotracheal intubation was done using laryngoscope for general anesthesia.
