EC50 and EC95 of Remifentanil for Emergence without Cough

PAVA, pooled-adjacent-violators algorithm; CI, confidence interval; EC50, effective Ce of remifentanil for suppression of emergence cough in 50% of patients; EC95, effective Ce of remifentanil for suppression of emergence cough in 95% of patients.
Values are presented as the mean (83%* or 95%† CI). EC50 and EC95 were calculated by isotonic regression method using the PAVA, and CIs were calculated using a bootstrapping approach.
