Values are mean (SD) or number (proportion). †The conditions of nausea and vomiting during surgery were treated with ondansetron 8 mg. 10 mg dexamethasone was given intravenously when there is possible nerve injury during anesthesia. Hypotension (fall in systolic blood pressure (SBP)>20% from baseline) and bradycardia (heart rate (HR) <55 beats/min) were treated with 10 mg ephedrine and 0.5 mg atropine through intravenous bolus injection, respectively. ‡Epidural patient-controlled analgesia was established with 100 mL of 0.05mg mL−1 morphine plus 2mg mL−1 ropivacaine, programmed to deliver a 1 mL bolus with a lockout interval of 15 min and a background infusion of 2 mL h−1. Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia was established with 100 mL of 2 μg mL−1 sufentanil, programmed to deliver a 1 mL bolus with a lockout interval of 15 min and a background infusion of 2 mL h−1. |
