| Conscious group | TZM group | M group | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak intensity (dB) | 9.88 ± 2.65 | 9.57 ± 2.09 | 8.23 ± 2.55 |
| Upslope (dB/sec) | 2.25 ± 0.92 | 1.80 ± 1.01 | 1.10 ± 0.55 a) |
| Downslope (dB/sec) | –0.09 ± 0.02 | –0.10 ± 0.01 | –0.10 ± 0.02 |
| TTP0 (sec) | 10.33 ± 1.73 | 15.08 ± 4.28 b) | 21.89 ± 6.7 a,c) |
| TTPup (sec) | 5.54 ± 0.97 | 7.98 ± 3.03 | 9.95 ± 2.25 a) |
| AUC (dBs) | 277.19 ± 175.85 | 284.51 ± 158.07 | 185.21 ± 95.15 |
Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n=8). TZM, tiletamine-zolazepam-medetomidine; M, medetomidine; TTP0, time to peak enhancement from contrast injection; TTPup, time to peak enhancement from initial rise; AUC, area under the curve. a) P<0.05 (Conscious group versus M group); b) P<0.05 (Conscious group versus TZM group); c) P<0.05 (TZM group versus M group).
