Data are presented as p-value. ANOVA with repeated measures was used to compare the changes in HR and p-value calculated. Bonferroni’s multiple comparison tests were used to make intergroup comparisons.
• Intra-operative heart rate was statistically significant between the Group C vs. D1 at 45 min and Group C vs. D2 at 5, 15 and 45 mins (p<0.05).
• There was no statistical significance in between Group D1 vs. D2 (p>0.05).
