Adequacy of maternal anesthesia depth with two sodium thiopental doses in elective caesarean section: a randomized clinical trial

Table 3 IFT of 80 pregnant women (40 = low-dose group and 40 = high-dose group) undergoing caesarian section

Event	IFT = 0		IFT = 1		IFT = 2		P-value
Event	5 mg/kg	7 mg/kg	5 mg/kg	7 mg/kg	5 mg/kg	7 mg/kg	P-value
Baseline (n = 40)	0	0	0	0	40	40	> 0.999
Induction to skin incision (n = 120)	62	69	42	39	16	12	0.04
Skin incision to delivery (n = 200)	190	195	9	4	1	1	0.03
Delivery to extubation (n = 280)	247	244	30	32	3	4	0.27

IFT Isolated forearm technique
Induction to skin incision: The IFT values for induction, laryngoscopy, and intubation were combined to give 120 data points
Skin incision to delivery: The IFT values for skin incision, peritoneal incision, uterus incision, uterus retraction, delivery were combined to give 200 data points
Delivery to extubation: The IFT values for uterus closure, muscular closure, skin closure, subcutaneous closure, stop volatile, eye opening, extubation were combined to give 280 data points
