Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the quality of recovery (QoR)-15 scores according to
the use of maintenance anesthetics in the lumbar fusion surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia
(TIVA) have been known to help reducing risks of postoperative nausea/vomiting and malignant
hyperthermia. However, it is still not enough to explain which is better between TIVA or
inhalation anesthesia. In particular, there is no study to investigate overall postoperative
functional recovery via QoR-15 in patients receiving TIVA with remimazolam. The hypothesis of
our study is that total intravenous anesthesia based on remimazolam will demonstrate better
quality of recovery compared with the anesthesia based on inhalation using desflurane.
