Figure 1

Effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on heart rate (HR) and diastolic (dBP) and systolic blood pressure (sBP) during cardiac surgery with CPB in children. M: after midazolan (MDZ) 0.2 mg·kg-1, 1H: after one hour of infusion of DEX (1  g·kg-1) or MDZ (0.2 mg·kg-1) associated with fentanyl (10  g·kg-1), BS: before skin incision, AS: after skin incision, E: after sternotomy, E10: 10 minutes after sternotomy. The box represents the number of patients that required isoflurane after skin incision. Data represent mean ± SD. Significantly different from M, from BS, and between groups.
