The purpose of the study is to compare the quality of recovery (QoR)-15 scores according to the use of maintenance anesthetics in the lumbar fusion surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have been known to help reducing risks of postoperative nausea/vomiting and malignant hyperthermia. However, it is still not enough to explain which is better between TIVA or inhalation anesthesia. In particular, there is no study to investigate overall postoperative functional recovery via QoR-15 in patients receiving TIVA with remimazolam. The hypothesis of our study is that total intravenous anesthesia based on remimazolam will demonstrate better quality of recovery compared with the anesthesia based on inhalation using desflurane.

General anesthesia for patients will be inducted and maintained with desflurane inhalation and remifentanil infusion. Remimazolam group will be started with remiamazolam at 6 mg/kg/h and TCI Minto model of remifentanil for the time of anesthesia induction, and maintained at 0.5

The difference of QoR-15 scores
The difference of scores in the Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 survey between desflurane group and remimazolam group. 0 (minimum), 150 (maximum): Higher scores means better.
