  1. Data are expressed as number of patients (proportion) or median (interquartile range). *: median (range). BMI, body mass index; ASA, American Society of Anesthesiologists; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; BIS, bispectral index; fEMG, frontal electromyogram; Ce, effect site concentration; PIP, peak inspiratory pressure; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; TV/PBW, tidal volume divided by predicted body weight; NA, not applicable because of little data in patients with intraoperative coughing
