Fig. 1. Comparison of vital signs between the two treatment groups during the course of surgery in each period. A. Comparison of heart rate (HR): After sedative administration, HR increased in both groups, but it showed a higher value in the midazolam (MDZ) group than the dexmedetomidine (DEX) group in all periods. B. Comparison of systolic noninvasive blood pressure (SBP): After sedative administration, SBP increased in the MDZ group and decreased in the DEX group, showing a higher value in the MDZ group 20 minutes after local anesthesia and thereafter. C. Comparison of diastolic noninvasive blood pressure (DBP): After sedative administration, DBP decreased in both groups, showing a higher value in the DEX group 5 minutes after sedative administration and in the MDZ group at the beginning of the primary closure. *P<0.05 by Student’s t-test. (T0: the moment right before sedative administration, T1: 5 minutes after sedative administration, T2: the time of injection of the local anesthetic agent, T3: 20 minutes after local anesthesia, T4: the time of the start of the primary closure)
