Decreases in oral tissue blood flow induced by remifentanil is not accompanied by deterioration of oral tissue oxygen tension in rabbits

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of remifentanil infusion on tissue blood flow and tissue oxygen tension in the mandibular bone marrow and the masseter muscle in rabbits. In addition, the changes in tissue oxygen consumption in those tissues during remifentanil infusion was investigated.
