  1. The consumption of sevoflurane inhalational gas used for anesthesia maintenance decreased in the lidocaine group with lower end-tidal concentration (1.700 ± 0.2500) in comparison to the fentanyl group (2.640 ± 0.4899). There was statically significance relation between the two groups with p value < 0.001
