Figure 2 The (A) heart rate and (B) mean arterial pressure during perioperative period. Data are expressed as the mean±standard error. T0 – baseline (before anesthesia induction); T1 – at the end of surgery; T2 – immediately after extubation; T3 – 3 minutes after extubation; T4 – in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit. The control group was maintained in a neutral position without pillow until the endotracheal extubation. The head elevation group was maintained in a head-elevated position on a pillow until the endotracheal extubation. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in (A) and (B).
