GroupInterventionDescription
Conventional groupConventional Low flow AnesthesiaAfter standart intravenous anesthesia induction end endotracheal intubation desflurane vaporizer will be set at 6% with fresh gas flow rate 4 L/min (50% O2, 50% air) until the EtAA concentration reaches 0.7 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) Then, the desflurane vaporizer will be at a 1% higher value than the EtAA concentration required to achieve 0.7 MAC. And after 10 minutes fresh gas flow rate will be reduced to 1L/min.
Fixed Fresh Gas Flow Rate groupLow Flow Anesthesia with fixed fresh gas flow rateAfter standart intravenous anesthesia induction end endotracheal intubation desflurane vaporizer will be set at 18% with fresh gas flow rate 1 L/min (50% O2, 50% air) until the EtAA concentration reaches 0.7 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) Then, the desflurane vaporizer will be at a 2% higher value than the EtAA concentration required to achieve 0.7 MAC.
