Fig. 4From: Dexmedetomidine enhances tolerance to bupivacaine cardiotoxicity in the isolated rat hearts: alpha 2 adrenoceptors were not involvedBupivacaine content in cardiac tissue among the experiment groups (n = 8 in each group). Data were given as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, between group Bupi and group Bupi + Dex, #P < 0.05, between group Bupi and group Bupi + Dex + Yoh. Con, control; Bupi, bupivacaine; Dex, dexmedetomidine; Yoh, yohimbine. Bupi + Dex vs. Bupi, P = 0.003, Bupi + Dex vs. Bupi + Dex + Yoh, P = 0.879, Bupi + Dex + Yoh vs. Bupi, P = 0.009Back to article page
