Data are presented as mean ± SD. Dex group: dexmedetomidine group. SBP: systolic blood pressure. DBP: diastolic blood pressure. MAP: mean arterial pressure. HR: heart rate. RPP: rate pressure product. Baseline refers to the point of time before the study drug is administered. Before intubation refers to the point of time after anesthetic induction just before intubation. T0 is the period during intubation. T1–10 refer to minutes after intubation. * value < 0.05 compared between groups. # value < 0.05 compared to baseline values.
