Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane for tracheal intubation (MACTI); Patient’s responses to tracheal intubation were classified as ‘no movement’ or ‘movement’. ‘No movement’ was defined as the absence of purposeful movement of the extremities, movement of the vocal cords preventing intubation, and coughing or bucking during or immediately after intubation. The values of MACTI were obtained by calculating the midpoint concentration of all independent response cross-overs in which a positive response was followed by a negative response.[At the time of tracheal intubation ]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
included induction quality[Induction quality was briefly evaluated according to a four-point scale during the inhalation induction with sevoflurane];Incidence of adverse events(e.g.hypotention,bradycardia);<br><br>Clinically significant hypotention or bradycardia, defined as > 30% decrease in mean arterial pressure or heart rate compared with baseline.
