NCT03763305

Brief Summary

Skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) has recently been discovered from the electrocardiogram obtained from healthy volunteers. The raw physiologic electric signal from electrodes placed on the skin was reprocessed through filtering and integration using software to produce the SKNA signal. However, no study has yet provided knowledge on the effect of anesthetics on SKNA during general anesthesia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) presented as uV obtained via skin leads.

    The average intraoperative SKNA divided by average SKNA before induction of general anesthesia (T0)

    Intraoperative

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Percent change of SKNA

    T1: 1.5 minute after use of anesthetics, T2: 1.5 minute after use of muscle relaxant, T3: 30 seconds after intubation, T4: before bladder expansion, T5: 30 seconds after bladder expansion, T6: 30 sec after start of surgery, T7: 30sec after end of surgery

Study Arms (3)

Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)

EXPERIMENTAL

Study participants are anesthetized by total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) using propofol continuous infusion and remifentanil continuous infusion. During induction of general anesthesia, participants receive 3\~5mcg/mL Propofol Fresenius and 3\~5ng/mL and Remifentanil \[Ultiva\] as initial effect site concentrations. The effect site concentration is controlled with target-controlled infusion to maintain bispectral index (BIS) values between 40 and 60.

Drug: Propofol continuous infusionDrug: Remifentanil

Sevoflurane

EXPERIMENTAL

Study participants receive fentanyl 1mcg/kg and propofol bolus injection 1.5\~2mg/kg for induction of general anesthesia. For maintenance of anesthesia, sevoflurane inhalant solution \[Sojourn\] is used to maintain 1 age-related minimum alveolar concentration (MAC).

Drug: SevofluraneDrug: Propofol bolus injectionDrug: Fentanyl

Desflurane

EXPERIMENTAL

Study participants receive fentanyl 1mcg/kg and propofol bolus injection 1.5\~2mg/kg for induction of general anesthesia. For maintenance of anesthesia, desflurane \[Suprane\] is used to maintain 1 age-related minimum alveolar concentration (MAC).

Drug: DesfluraneDrug: Propofol bolus injectionDrug: Fentanyl
