Text: Induction doses were significantly lower (median values 1. 4 vs 1. 9 mg/kg) and maintenance infusion rate significantly higher (median values 10. 2 vs 8. 8 mg/kg/h) in the TCI group ; anesthetists ratings obtained maximum scores in most patients of either group, but more frequently in the TCI group, with significant differences for ease of control (good 91. 2 % TCI vs 74. 7 % IM ; adequate 8. 8 vs 21. 5 % ; poor 0 vs 3. 8 %), and of use of technique (good 91. 2 % TCI vs 60. 8 % IM ; adequate 8. 8 vs 39. 2 %) ; the global quality score showed a significant advantage for the TCI system (median value 12 vs 11).
