Comparative observation of the effectiveness and safety of remimazolam besylate versus dexmedetomidine in gastrointestinal surgery in obese patients

Figure 1 Vital signs of two groups of obese patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. A: Heart rate at different time points in the two groups; B: Respiratory rate at different time points in the two groups; C: Mean arterial pressure at different time points in the two groups; D: Blood oxygen saturation at different time points in the two groups. HR: Heart rate; RR: Respiratory rate; MAP: Mean arterial pressure; SpO₂: Blood oxygen saturation. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs T0; ^cP < 0.05 vs Con.

Figure 2 Anesthesia indices of the two groups of obese patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. A: The research group showed a markedly shorter anesthesia induction time than the control group; B: The research group showed a significantly shorter anesthesia recovery time than the control group; C: The research group showed an obviously shorter postanesthesia care unit discharge time than the control group. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs T0.

Figure 3 Sedative effects on the two groups of obese patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs T0; ^cP < 0.05 vs Con.
