Background/aim: Preoperative intravenous oxycodone may help to prevent or attenuate intubation-related hemodynamic responses (IRHRs), but its pharmacokinetics differs according to age and sex. Therefore, we investigated the 95% effective dose (ED95) of intravenous oxycodone for attenuating all IRHRs, depending on the age and sex of the study population. Materials and methods: All patients were allocated to one of 6 groups: 1) 20-40 year old males, 2) 41-65yearold males, 3) 66-80 year old males, 4) 20-40 year old females, 5) 41-65yearold females, and 6) 66-80 year old females (groups YM, OM, EM, YF, OF, and EF, respectively).
