The Effect of Volatile Anesthesia and Total Intravenous Anesthesia on Shedding of the Endothelial Glycocalyx in Patients Undergoing Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction Using Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator Free Flap

Anesthesia was induced with TCI of propofol (Ce of 4.0-4.5 μg/ml) and remifentanil (Ce of 4.0 ng/ml). Anesthesia was maintained with TCI of propofol and remifentanil. Anesthesia depth was adjusted to maintain a PSI of 25-50.

Anesthesia was induced with an intravenous bolus of propofol 1.5-2 mg/kg and TCI of remifentanil (effect-site concentration \[Ce\] of 4.0 ng/ml). Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane (0.8-1 age-adjusted minimum alveolar concentration) and TCI of remifentanil
