Figure 11-18 The reduction in isoflurane concentration to prevent movement at skin incision in 50% of patients by increasing measured remifentanil whole blood concentrations. F represents a patient who moved and S, a patient who did not move. The solid line is the logistic regression solution for a patient 40 years of age.
