2.5. Outcome measures
ADVERSE EVENTS, SECONDARY
The primary outcome was the elapsed time from the discontinuation of anesthesia to extubation. Extubation time can be an indicator of the emergence of the patient from general anesthesia, as extubation requires the recovery of respiratory function and consciousness.The secondary outcomes were the elapsed time from the discontinuation of anesthesia to eye opening, obeying commands, and achieving a WFTS of 12.Other measured outcomes included the duration of surgery and anesthesia, dose of each anesthetic, frequency of post-anesthetic adverse events, and WFTS before leaving the OR.
