Comparison of the Effects of Desflurane, Sevoflurane, and Propofol on the Glottic Opening Area during Remifentanil-Based General Anesthesia Using a Supraglottic Airway Device

Table 3

Value of peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) in the three anesthesia groups.

	Group D	Group S	Group P	value
PIP1	14.2 ± 2.9	15.2 ± 3.7	16.5 ± 4.7	0.0673
PIP2	17.9 ± 3.3	16.3 ± 3.8	16.2 ± 3.2	0.109

PIP1: baseline value before starting each of the three anesthetic agents (desflurane: group D; sevoflurane: group S; propofol: group P); PIP2: the intraoperative value measured at the moment of maximum change from baseline. Data are shown as mean ± SD.
