Summary
The study was designed to define the interaction of intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine,
an a2-adrenergic agonist, and sevoflurane in children having surgery by using the minimum
alveolar concentration which can block adrenergic and cardiovascular responses to
incision(MACbar) of sevoflurane as the measure of anesthetic potency.
