Faster emergence behavior from ketamine/xylazine anesthesia with atipamezole versus yohimbine
Fig 3
Latency to return of righting reflex (RORR) and sticky dot notice and the emergence and recovery period duration for the atipamezole (ATI) and ATI+PRA (prazosin) group.
A) There were no significant differences between the ATI and ATI+PRA group in the latency to RORR and sticky dot notice. There was no difference in the duration of the emergence period as well. The recovery period was significantly shorter for ATI than for ATI+PRA. The solid, gray lines indicate significant differences between groups. B) Time course of the durations to the different emergence and recovery markers. The solid lines present the mean and the 95% confidence interval on the mean. The gray line indicates time of reversal injection, 15 minutes post-ketamine/xylazine injection.
