Table 1. Demographic and Anesthetic Data.
| Group RL (n = 25) |
Group RH (n = 25) |
Group KRH (n = 25) |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (yr) | 46.9 ± 9.2 | 43.7 ± 7.6 | 44.4 ± 9.2 |
| Weight (kg) | 56.8 ± 7.2 | 60.4 ± 7.9 | 58.6 ± 8.5 |
| Baseline Blood Pressure (mmHg) | |||
| Systolic | 117.7 ± 12.6 | 120.0 ± 15.1 | 116.9 ± 14.0 |
| Diastolic | 71.5 ± 11.5 | 70.7 ± 11.0 | 71.7 ± 11.7 |
| Mean | 86.8 ± 10.6 | 87.1 ± 10.4 | 86.4 ± 10.9 |
| Baseline Heart Rate (beats/min) | 76.9 ± 13.2 | 75.8 ± 12.0 | 77.4 ± 11.2 |
| Duration of Anesthesia (min) | 132.4± 35.7 | 139.8 ± 50.0 | 129.8 ± 27.7 |
| Mean end-tidal concentration of desflurane (volume %) | 5.8 ± 0.5* | 3.4 ± 0.5 | 3.2 ± 0.4 |
| Time to extubation after surgery (min) | 4.0 ± 2.4 | 3.7 ± 2.4 | 3.0 ± 2.4 |
All parameters are expressed as means ± standard deviation (SD). Group RL: remifentanil (0.05 µg/kg/min), group RH: remifentanil (0.3 µg/kg/min), and group KRH: ketamine and remifentanil (0.3 µg/kg/min). There were no significant differences in demographic and anesthetic parameters between groups. *The mean end-tidal concentration of desflurane group RL was higher than other 2 groups (P < 0.05).
