  1. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Sevoflurane = mean end expiratory concentration of sevoflurane from induction to delivery; SatO2 = mean oxygen saturation from induction to delivery; ETCO2 = mean end tidal capnography from induction to delivery; BIS = bispectral index analysis. Baseline means time before induction to general anaesthesia.
