Heart rates, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure (BP) (mean, SD)
| Pre-PM | 30 minutes post-PM | 2 minutes post-RBB | 15 minutes post-RBB | 45 minutes post-RBB | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BPM = beats per minute. M = midazolam. P = placebo. D = significant differences between midazolam group and placebo group. PM = premedication, RBB = retrobulbar block. Crosses denote significant differences within one group, compared to the previous blood sample (*p<0.05; **p<0.01). | ||||||
