Fig. 2From: Esmolol reduces anesthetic requirements thereby facilitating early extubation; a prospective controlled study in patients undergoing intracranial surgeryIntraoperative fluctuations of sevoflurane in the control (top of the picture) and the esmolol group (bottom of the picture). Each patient is indicated with a different color. Initial MAC of sevoflurane is higher in the control group compared to the esmolol group. Also MAC of sevoflurane at each time point was much lower for the esmolol group than the control group. Mean value of sevoflurane in control group was 1.49 ± 0.288 MAC MAC, where in the esmolol group was 0.31 ± 0.13MAC during the procedureBack to article page
