Figure 6. In vivo comparison of anesthetics.

Figure 6

(A) represents the maximum BLI intensity obtained from the same mice anesthetized with isoflurane or the test anesthetic mentioned below the curve. Values were normalized to isoflurane signal intensities. (B) shows a scatter plot of the time to the peak signal intensity for the different anesthetics. Each data point represents a unique bioluminescent acquisition from the in vivo comparison of anesthetics study. Lines indicate the mean. There was a significantly later peak for ketamine/medetomidine and isoflurane as compared to avertin, pentobarbital and unanesthetized animals. ** p<0.01 between indicated conditions; ‡ p<0.05 compared to both isoflurane and ketamine/medetomidine.
