  1. Values are mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 versus preinduction values.
  2. Preinduction = before induction of anaesthesia; Postinduction = 3 min after induction of anaesthesia but before tracheal intubation; Postintubation = 2 min after tracheal intubation.
  3. SEVO group = Induction of anaesthesia with sevoflurane.
  4. MR group = Induction of anaesthesia with rocuronium.
