Metalloproteinase expression after desflurane preconditioning in hepatectomies: A randomized clinical trial

Figure 1 Flow diagram of study design.

Figure 2 Antithrombin activity compared between groups. The t-test was used for between-groups comparisons, resulting in P values and 95% confidence intervals (CIs, provided in brackets). ^aP < 0.05 statistical significance between desflurane vs control group, ^bP < 0.01 statistical significance between desflurane vs control group. ATIII: Antithrombin III.

Figure 3 Protein C activity compared between groups. The t-test was used for between-groups comparisons, resulting in P values and 95% confidence intervals (CIs, provided in brackets). ^aP < 0.05 statistical significance between desflurane vs control group, ^bP < 0.01 statistical significance between desflurane vs control group.

Figure 4 International normalized ratio between groups. The t-test was used for between-groups comparisons, resulting in P values and 95% confidence intervals (CΙs, in brackets). ^aP < 0.05 statistical significance between desflurane vs control group, ^bP < 0.01 statistical significance between desflurane vs control group. INR: International normalized ratio.
