Demographics and procedure features.
In the published article, there was an error. The dosage of alfentanil was incorrectly listed as 0.2 μg/kg.
A correction has been made to Abstract (Method, Paragraph 2) and Methods (Study design, Paragraph 1).
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Anesthesia induction consisted of alfentanil 20 μg/kg in the WOA group and esketamine 0.2 mg/kg in the OFA group.”
“In addition, the OFA group received 2 mg/kg esketamine (Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), while the WOA group received 20 μg/kg alfentanil (Yicahng Humanwell Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.).”
