Figure 7

Values of stroke volume (ejected volume) and cardiac output (CO), obtained by the Simpson and Teichholz methods, in 18 cats sedated with the association of dexmedetomidine (7.5 ug/kg) and methadone (0.3 mg/kg) (DMT, n = 9) or dexmedetomidine (5ug/kg), methadone (0.3 mg/kg), and midazolam (0.3 mg/kg) (DMTM, n = 9), both by the intramuscular route. Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation.
