Heart rates values were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the KDB group (mean heart rate 105 BPM) than in
the KMB group (mean heart rate 207 BPM), beginning 10 min after anesthetic administration and remaining below
baseline levels until 30 min after anesthetic reversal (Fig. 2).

Respiratory rates in KDB rats were lower at 10 min after anesthetic induction compared with KMB group.
Subsequent hypoxemia was reversed after subcutaneous administration of atipamezole and direct oxygenation.
Mortality was reported for 2 cases from the KDB group during the recovery phase, compared with no cases
