Dogs were randomly assigned in a crossover design to receive dexmedetomidine (2.5 \u03bcg\/kg), acepromazine (0.05 mg\/kg), or saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (1 mL) IV after anesthesia ceased.

During recovery, dexmedetomidine administration resulted in significant decreases in heart rate, cardiac index, and mixed venous oxygen tension and a significant increase in arterial blood pressure, compared with values for saline solution and acepromazine treatments.
