Summary
Sedation in the ICUs is very common. There is no ideal sedative yet, so research has been
conducted to replace propofol and midazolam, which are the most commonly used sedatives in
ICUs, by inhalation anesthetics. The investigators will sedate the patients who undergo head
& neck surgery with tracheostomy for several days using sevoflurane, a kind of inhalation
agent, via anesthetic conserving device.
The objective of this study is to confirm the end-tidal sevoflurane concentration for
inducing moderate sedation (RASS -2~-3). In addition, the investigators compare the volatile
sedation with the IV(intravenous) sedation to see if the volatile sedation could reduce the
amount of post-operative opioid consumption.
