Categorical variables are represented as number (percent). Continuous variables are represented as (Mean ± SD). Variables which are not normally distributed are presented as median and IQR (25%-75%). P < .05 is statistically significant.
ASA = American society of Anesthesiology; TIVA = total intravenous anesthesia; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; MBP = mean blood pressure; HR = heart rate; SPO2 = oxygen saturation; ETCO2 = end tidal carbon dioxide.
