End‐tidal concentrations and MACBAR of sevoflurane predetermined by patient responses to skin incision according to the up and down sequence. Patient responses were determined by measuring changes in blood pressure and heart rate. Open symbols represent positive responses (an increase of either heart rate or mean arterial pressure ≥15% above the mean of the values measured during the 2 min before skin incision) and filled symbols represent negative responses (neither heart rate nor mean arterial pressure increased ≥15% above the mean of the values measured during the 2 min before skin incision). Differences in MACBAR between two of the three groups were statistically significant (P < 0.01).

Comparison of mean arterial pressure (MAP) (A), bispectral index (BIS) (B), heart rate (HR) (C), and rate‐pressure product (RPP) (D) between the three groups at different time points, *P < 0.05, 0.1 ng/mL versus 0.3 ng/mL; †P < 0.05, 0.1 ng/mL versus 0.5 ng/mL; #P < 0.05, 0.3 ng/mL versus 0.5 ng/mL.
