About this trial
This prospective randomized controlled study will compare the effects of sevoflurane and desflurane on the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia. Participants will be randomized to maintenance anesthesia with either sevoflurane or desflurane, and ANI responses to a standardized nociceptive stimulus will be measured under equi-minimum alveolar concentration (age-adjusted 1.0 MAC) conditions. The primary objective is to compare the change in ANI before and after tetanic stimulation between the two anesthetic groups. Secondary measurements will include bispectral index, blood pressure, heart rate, and end-tidal anesthetic concentration around the time of stimulation.
Eligibility criteria

Adults aged 19 to 79 years
Patients undergoing general anesthesia
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I or II
Disqualifiers
History of taking medications that may affect the central nervous system or autonomic nervous system (e.g., anticholinergics, beta-blockers, antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics, or analgesics)

Treatments tested in this trial
Desflurane
DrugDesflurane will be administered for maintenance of general anesthesia after loss of consciousness following propofol induction. End-tidal desflurane concentration will be titrated to age-adjusted 1.0 MAC (±0.1 MAC) at the time of ANI assessment.
Sevoflurane
DrugSevoflurane will be administered for maintenance of general anesthesia after loss of consciousness following propofol induction. End-tidal sevoflurane concentration will be titrated to age-adjusted 1.0 MAC (±0.1 MAC) at the time of ANI assessment.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) From 1 Minute Before to 1 Minute After Tetanic Stimulation
ANI will be measured 1 minute before and 1 minute after standardized tetanic stimulation. The primary analysis will compare the between-group difference in ANI change from before to after stimulation.
Secondary outcomes
Bispectral Index (BIS)
Blood Pressure
Heart Rate
