MACelectric of three groups. Reduced MACelectric in patients with liver dysfunction. The MACelectric of each patient was calculated as the value halfway between the end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane that prevented or allowed purposeful movement in response to the electrical stimulation (80 mA 50 Hz for 15 s). Group MACelectric values are expressed as median ± maximum and minimum. The MACelectric values in Groups B and A were significantly lower than that of Group N patients with normal liver function parameters (** p < 0.001 and * p = 0.042)
