Figure legends
Figure 1 . Study flow diagram.
Figure 2 . TCI concentrations of propofol for consecutive
patients in control group. The horizontal line at 3.77 μg/mL means the
EC50 of TCI propofol. The red triangle means
“responsive”. The blue dot means “non-responsive”.
Figure 3 . TCI concentrations of propofol for consecutive
patients in DEX0.5 group. The horizontal line at 2.51 μg/mL means the
EC50 of TCI propofol. The red triangle means
“responsive”. The blue dot means “non-responsive”.
Figure 4 . TCI concentrations of propofol for consecutive
patients in DEX1.0 group. The horizontal line at 2.10 μg/mL means the
EC50 of TCI propofol. The red triangle means
“responsive”. The blue dot means “non-responsive”.
Figure 5 . The time
course of percent change from baseline in MAP. T0:
baseline values; T1: 2.5 min after administration of
dexmedetomidine; T2: Dexmedetomidine administration is
over; T3: when propofol target plasma concentration
reached the target; T4: at scope intubation and
T5-x: by 3 min intervals.
Figure 6 . The time course of percent change from
baseline in HR. T0: baseline values; T1:
2.5 min after administration of dexmedetomidine; T2:
Dexmedetomidine administration is over; T3: when
propofol target plasma concentration reached the target;
T4: at scope intubation and T5-x: by 3
min intervals.

methodology.
