“…SVRI was decreased more in G8 than G6 indicating that the difference in blood pressure resulted from more extensive vasodilation, probably induced by a reduced inhibition of medullary vasopressor mechanisms (Muir & Gadawski 2002). Leite et al (2008) also observed a significant decrease in SAP shortly after propofol administration in agoutis. SAP, DAP and MAP were decreased in cats administered propofol, with a more pronounced effect in the group with the higher infusion rate (Selmi et al 2005), results that are consistent with the results in this study.…”
