Summary

Remifentanil target-controlled infusion and dexmedetomidine single-dose administration are known to reduce airway response and haemodynamic stimulation during anaesthetic recovery. The investigators will compare the effects of two drugs on prevention of cough during emergence from general sevoflurane anaesthesia.

Conditions

  • Thyroid Neoplasm

Interventions

DRUG

dexmedetomidine

Fifteen minutes before the end of surgery, the first practitioner replace the syringe of remifentanil as new one; new syringe contains remifentanil in remifentanil group (Group R), and normal saline in dexmedetomidine group (Group D), respectively. There are no drug labeling in the new syringe, so the second practitioner can't know which drug was contained in the new syringe. Simultaneously, the second practitioner remifentanil concentration on monitor of TCI pump will be adjusted to 2.0 ng•ml-1. Ten minutes before the end of surgery, 10 ml of dexmedetomidine 0.5 mcg•kg-1 mixed with normal saline will be given for 5 min in Group D; in Group R, 10 ml of normal saline will be given by the first practitioner.
