Opioid-sparing based anesthesia
Sevoflurane-based anesthesia
Intraoperative opioid-sparing maintenance comprised dexmedetomidine bolus dose of 1 mcg/kg followed by 0.3 mcg/kg/h, propofol 4-8 mg/kg/h and ketamine 25 mg/h for a max of 50 mg during the procedure, targeting bispectral index (BIS) between 45%-60%. The lean body weight will be used for calculation of the drugs.
Intraoperative sevoflurane-based anesthesia, 0.8 to 1.0 Minimum alveolar concentration will be used combined with fentanyl 1 mcg/kg followed by 1 -2 mcg/kg/h and cis-atracurium, to keep bispectral index between 45% to 60%.
