Data are presented as mean±standard deviation (SD), number, %, and Student’s t-test were used comparing age, weight, and sex. P: Probability of error (significant if<0.05). χ2: Pearson Chi-square. NS=P > 0.05 which considered not significant. ASA=American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status
