Effects of Dexmedetomidine Infusion on Inflammatory Responses and Injury of Lung Tidal Volume Changes during One-Lung Ventilation in Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Figure 2

Changes in perioperative plasma levels of one-lung ventilation-induced inflammatory biomarkers. (a). Perioperative changes in plasma high-mobility group box 1 protein levels. indicates a higher level in the DEX group than in the saline group with a at T₁. # indicates an intragroup increase between T₁ and T₂ with in the DEX group. (b). Perioperative changes in plasma monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 levels. # indicates an intragroup increase between T₁ and T₂ with in the saline group. (c). Perioperative changes in plasma interleukin-6 levels. indicates a higher level in the saline group than in the DEX group with at T₃. # indicates intragroup increases between T₁ and T₂ with in both DEX and saline groups.
