All data are expressed as number of patients (%) or median (minimum-maximum). C-L score; Cormack-Lehane score for the grading of direct laryngoscopy. SBP; systolic blood pressure at 1 min after intubation. DBP; diastolic blood pressure at 1 min after intubation. HR; heart rate at 1 min after intubation. BIS; bispectral index at 1 min after intubation
* The difference within and between groups (TIVA and SEVO groups) at the same dose of rocuronium
There were no significant differences between the TIVA and SEVO groups at the same dose of rocuronium (P = 0.065 at 0.3 mg/kg, P = 0.612 at 0.6 mg/kg, and P = 0.262 at 0.9 mg/kg)
^** There was no significant difference in C-L grade between groups (P > 0.05). There was also no significant difference in SBP, DBP, HR and BIS at 1 min after intubation between groups (P > 0.05)
