  1. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The type of surgery, sex, ASA, type of surgery, and surgical position are shown as n (%), or number. The Age and 95% are shown as confidence intervals (CIs). The height, Weight, BMI and time of operation are shown as mean ± SD unless otherwise indicated; ASA indicates American Society of Anesthesiologists. BMI indicates Body Mass Index
