Incidence of emergence agitation and dangerous emergence agitation. D, dexmedetomidine; C, control with normal saline; EA, emergence agitation. Emergence is defined as the period from the end of surgery to 2 min after extubation. Agitation is defined as a sedation-agitation scale score of ≥5. Dangerous agitation is defined as a sedation-agitation scale score=7. *P=0.041 compared with Group C.

Haemodynamic changes during operation and emergence. (a) MAP, and (b) HR. Baseline, before anaesthetic induction; Op-10, 10 min after the start of operation; Op-30, 30 min after the start of operation; Op-end, end of operation; Ext, extubation; Ext-2, 2 min after extubation. Data are expressed as mean (sd). *P<0.05 compared with Group C (Bonferroni corrected). †P<0.05 compared with baseline in each group (Bonferroni corrected).
