The Effect of Propofol Induction Based on Lean Body Weight on the Depth of Anesthesia

A total of 120 patients undergoing general anesthesia for urological surgeries at our hospital were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups (Group T/Group L). All patients were taken to the operating room, and in addition to routine monitoring, BIS and SedLine monitoring were provided. All patients received 1 mcg/kg of fentanyl. Group T received propofol at a dose of 2-2.5 mg/kg based on total body weight. Propofol was administered at a rate of 100 mg/min. The laryngeal mask will be placed once an adequate depth of anesthesia is achieved. All data were recorded at 2-minute intervals for 6 minutes before and after induction. The collected data were statistically analyzed for comparison.

All patients were taken to the operating room, and in addition to routine monitoring, BIS and SedLine monitoring were provided. All patients received 1 mcg/kg of fentanyl. Group L received propofol at 2-2,5mg/kg dose based on lean body weight, which was calculated from CT imaging by a radiologist. Propofol was administered at a rate of 100 mg/min.
