Table 2 Clinical characteristics in the two groups. The duration of surgery, the time to spontaneous respiration, and the length of stay in the PACU were similar in the two groups. The dosage of propofol or remifentanil was significantly higher in the PRD group than in the PR group (P < 0.001). The time to recovery and tracheal extubation time were delayed greater in the PRD group compared with the PR group (P < 0.001)
