What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Effect-site Concentration of Propofol
Time Frame: The participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia induction, an expected average of half an hour
The effect-site concentration of propofol when loss of consciousness during propofol target-controlled infusing(TCI) induction of anesthesia.
The participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia induction, an expected average of half an hour

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Bispectral Index
Time Frame: The participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia induction, an expected average of half an hour
The bispectral index (BIS) of each patient will be recorded at four different time points,as follows, baseline(the awake phase before epidural anesthesia),10 mins after epidural anesthesia, 20 mins after epidural anesthesia, loss of consciousness(when the participants are lost eyelash reflex during propofol TCI induction of anesthesia). BIS values varies from 0 to 100(0, no cerebral activity; 40 to 60, general anesthesia; 60 to 85, sedated; 85 to 100, awake).
The participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia induction, an expected average of half an hour
The Mean Blood Pressure
Time Frame: The participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia induction, an expected average of half an hour
The mean arterial pressure of each patient will be recorded at four different time points, as follows, baseline(the awake phase before epidural anesthesia), 10 mins after epidural anesthesia, 20 mins after epidural anesthesia, loss of consciousness(when the participants are lost eyelash reflex during propofol TCI induction of anesthesia).
The participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia induction, an expected average of half an hour
The Heart Rate
Time Frame: The participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia induction, an expected average of half an hour
The heart rate of each patient will be recorded at three different four points, as follows, baseline(the awake phase before epidural anesthesia), 10mins after epidural anesthesia, 20 mins after epidural anesthesia, loss of consciousness(when the participants are lost eyelash reflex during propofol TCI induction of anesthesia).
The participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia induction, an expected average of half an hour
The Block Level of Epidural Anesthesia
Time Frame: 20 mins after epidural anesthesia
The block level 20mins after epidural anesthesia and it is verified by the loss of sensation to alcohol swab before target controlled infusion of propofol.It is the number of block segments.The block level varies from 0 to 10(0, no block level; 1 to 5, narrow block level;6 to 10, wide block level).
20 mins after epidural anesthesia
