The Effect of Prophylactic Dexmedetomidine on Hemodynamic Disturbances to Double-Lumen Endotracheal Intubation: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled Trial

Table 2

The multivariate mean difference of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate by treatment group adjusted for multiple variables.

Difference* value95% CI

Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)15.2<0.0016.9–23.6
Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)10.5<0.0015.6–15.3
Mean arterial pressure (mmHg)14.0<0.0017.4–20.6
Heart rate (beats per minute)10.5<0.0016.2–14.8
Rate pressure product (mmHg min−1) <0.001

The mean difference of each hemodynamic variable was estimated from hemodynamic change between baseline, before intubation, during intubation, and T1–T10.
Adjusted for age, gender, ASA classification, preexisting hypertension, baseline hemodynamic variables, intubation time, and intubation attempts.
