Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: fentanyl
A bolus dose of fentanyl 2 μg/kg was administered intravenously at anesthetic induction
Drug: fentanyl group
fentanyl 2 μg/kg

Active Comparator: remifentanil
Remifentanil was continuously infused at a rate of 0.2 μg/kg/min from anesthetic induction to the end of surgery
Drug: remifentanil group
remifentanil 0.2 μg/kg/min




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. incidence of postoperative agitation [ Time Frame: 5 minutes in the recovery room ]
    0=none; 1=occur

  2. incidence of postoperative agitation [ Time Frame: 30 minutes in the recovery room ]
    0=none; 1=occur

  3. severity of postoperative agitation [ Time Frame: 5 minutes in the recovery room ]
    Four-point agitation scale (0=calm; 1=not calm but could easily become calmed; 3=not easily calmed, moderately agitated and restless; 4=combative, excited, or disoriented)

  4. severity of postoperative agitation [ Time Frame: 30 minutes in the recovery room ]
    Four-point agitation scale (0=calm; 1=not calm but could easily become calmed; 3=not easily calmed, moderately agitated and restless; 4=combative, excited, or disoriented)
