  1. Average anaesthetic gas concentration is displayed as mean (SD). Type of surgery is presented in number (% of total). Anaesthesia and PACU times are given as means with the upper and lower 95% confidence interval in parentheses. Remifentanil values and intra- and postoperative consumption of piritramide are presented as means (SD). Time points of pre- and postoperative testing are shown in hours and minutes with the upper and lower 95% confidence interval in parentheses.
