Fig. 2

Boxplots of mean arterial blood pressure and end-tidal carbon dioxide at the different timepoints. Box and whisker plots showing median (line), interquartile range (shaded) and outliers (circles) for mean arterial pressure (in mmHg) (a), and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2, in mmHg) (b) in the normal blood pressure group (NBP) and low blood pressure group (LBP). Whiskers extend a maximum of 1.5× the interquartile range. The lower mean arterial pressure limit for cerebral autoregulation is shown (dashed line). Experimental timepoints: PCB pre-caval block, PR-1 initial baseline for propofol-remifentanil TIVA, PR-2 immediately before dexmedetomidine administration, PRD following propofol-remifentanil-dexmedetomidine TIVA. Significant differences from either the autoregulation limit (vertical bars) or between timepoints (horizontal bars) are shown
