ANAESTHESIA:
Intravenous anesthesia induction was achieved by 2 mg/kg of Propofol
with 0.5ml of preservative-free lidocaine, one mcg/kg fentanyl, and 0.5
mg/kg of Atracurium. Anaesthesia was maintained alongside bispectral
index (BIS) monitoring with a manual infusion of propofol and
0.5mcg/kg/hr of fentanyl [6]. A manual infusion regimen followed
required a loading dose of 2mg/kg over 10 minutes followed by an
infusion rate of 9 mg/kg/hr for the first 15 minutes, 6 mg/kg/hr from 15
to 30 minutes, 4 mg/kg/hr for maintenance for next 1 hour [7].
