In this study, the investigators measure a pupil size every 5 minutes during the operation in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. The investigators would compare the postoperative pain intensity between the group adjusted the anesthetic drug concentration based on the changes of the pupil (Pupil group) and the group based on the changes of a surgical pleth index (SPI group).

| Pupilometer guided anesthesia | Procedure | At least 10 min after anesthesia induction by target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil, baseline values for pupillary diameter is recorded before any surgical procedure. During the operation, propofol effect-site target concentration (Ce) is adjusted to maintain the bispectral index (BIS) value between 40 and 60. Remifentanil Ce is adapted every 5 min based on the changes of pupillary diameter. If the pupillary diameter is increased by more than 30% compared to baseline value, remifentanil concentration is increased by 0.5 ng/ml. If the pupillary diameter is maintained between 5 and 30 % change compared with baseline, remifentanil is not modified. In a case of pupillary diameter is decreased less than 5 % change of baseline, remifentanil concentration is decreased by 0.5 ng/ml. |

| Peak pain score assessed by numeric rating scale (NRS) in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) | Patients are asked to rate their pain according to the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0=no pain to 10= extreme pain imaginable) every 10 min after the PACU admission. Peak pain score is the peak NRS during PACU stay. Higher NRS represents a worse outcome. | During the PACU stay (Within 1 hour after the PACU admission) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Intraoperative remifentanil consumption rate | The amount of remifentanil consumption during the operation is calculated by following equation: Total remifentanil consumption (mcg) / body weight of the patients (kg)/ duration of anesthesia (min) | During the operation period (Within 2 hour after the anesthesia induction) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| PACU stay time | Duration of time interval from PACU admission to discharge. | Approximately within 1 hour after the PACU admission |
| Intraoperative vasopressor or vasodilator consumption | The amount of ephedrine and nicardipine consumption during the operation |

| SPI guided anesthesia | Procedure | During the operation, SPI value should be maintained between 20 and 50 by changing the infusion rate of remifentanil. Even if the SPI is maintained within the target range, the remifentanil infusion rate is increased by 0.5 ng/ml in a case of the SPI value suddenly arises by more than 10. |
|
| Postoperative adverse events |
Check the postoperative nausea and vomiting, dizziness, desaturation, urinary retention, itching sensation and bradycardia |
| Approximately within 1 hour after the PACU admission |
| Remnant sedation degree | Remnant sedation is evaluated by Riker Sedation-Agitation (RSA) Scale every 10 minutes after the PACU admission.
RSA scale 4 means normal. If the RSA <4, it means the patients are sedated. If the RSA >5, it means the patients are agitated. | Approximately within 1 hour after the PACU admission |
| Pain score assessed by numeric rating scale (NRS) 1 day after the operation | Patients are asked to rate their pain according to the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0=no pain to 10= extreme pain imaginable) 1 day after the operation. Higher NRS represents a worse outcome. | On 1 day after the operation |
| Total analgesic consumption after PACU discharge | Check the analgesic consumption after PACU discharge including oral, intramuscular and intravenous administration. | During 1 day after the operation |
| Intraoperative propofol consumption | The amount of propofol consumption during the operation | During the operation period (Within 2 hour after the anesthesia induction) |
| Intraoperative mean SPI | Check the SPI value throughout the operation using the vital recorder program. | Approximately during 2 hour after the anesthesia induction |
| During the operation period (Within 2 hour after the anesthesia induction) |
