Group-S: sevoflurane group; Group-SD: sevoflurane-desflurane group; MAC: minimal alveolar concentration; Ins/exp vol%: inspiratory and expiratory concentration of sevoflurane and desflurane; BIS: bispectral index; MAP: mean arterial pressure; HR: heart rate; TOF: train of four; N/A: not applicable. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
