Dexmedetomidine Reduces Shivering during Mild Hypothermia in Waking Subjects
Fig 2
Dexmedetomidine infusion lowered SBP (A) and heart rate (B).
In (A) systolic blood pressure is depicted in solid lines and symbols, while diastolic blood pressure is depicted in gray lines and symbols. End-tidal CO2 did not differ between groups (C). Pulse oximetry determined SpO2 was lower with dexmedetomidine, though the magnitude of the reduction was not clinically important (D). Figures depict mean with SD for blood pressure, heart rate and end tidal CO2. Median and range for SpO2 is depicted.
