Comparison of surgery- and anesthesia-related items between the DEX and NLA groups.
| DEX group (n = 31) | NLA group (n = 14) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operation time (minimum, mean ± SD) | 61.5 ± 1.9 | 61.1 ± 2.9 | 0.930 |
| Anesthetic time (minimum, mean ± SD) | 100.5 ± 2.95 | 97.9 ± 4.39 | 0.333 |
| The time from the conclusion of surgery until discharge (minimum, mean ± SD) | 13.5 ± 0.80 | 12.1 ± 1.20 | 0.333 |
| Infusion volume (mL, mean ± SD) | 459.7 ± 20.8 | 483.6 ± 31.0 | 0.526 |
| Oxygen flow rate (L, mean ± SD) | 215.2 ± 28.1 | 274.9 ± 41.9 | 0.243 |
DEX group: dexmedetomidine plus fentanyl; NLA group: droperidol plus fentanyl (neuroleptanalgesia); SD: standard deviation.
