* TIVA - total intravenous anaesthesia, VA - inhalational anaesthesia, BMI - body mass index, ASA - American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system, SBP - systolic blood pressure, DBP - diastolic blood pressure, TCI (Cet) - target controlled infusion (target effect site concentration), EBL - estimated blood loss, Bimax - bimaxillary surgery, InhA-R - inhalational anaesthesia with remifentanil, InhA - inhalational anaesthesia without remifentanil. Data presented as mean±standard deviation (SD) or number (proportion). P<0.05 means statistically significant
