MEP and Neuromuscular Blocker

Quantitative Analysis Between Neuromuscular Blocking Agent and Motor Evoked Potential and Analysis of Risk Factors for the Coefficient of Variance of Motor Evoked Potential in Patients Undergoing Brain Tumor Removal Surgery: Population Approach

It is important to predict the influence of the neuromuscular blocking agents on the motor evoked potential. Investigator will investigate the dose-response relationship between the degree of the neuromuscular blockade and the motor evoked potential in patients undergoing brain tumor surgery using the population approach. Investigator will investigate the influence of the other factors such as the impedence, reactance, muscel amount, and age on the motor evoked potential.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients aged 19 years old or older, with American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status 1-3, and scheduled for elective brain tumor surgery under the monitoring of the motor evoked potential

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Central or peripheral neuromuscular disease
2. Sensory or motor nerve disorder
3. Allergy to propofol, remifentanil, and rocuronium
4. Patients with pacemaker
