Protocol. This figure depicts the experimental protocol for all rabbits. Figure 3A depicts the protocol for pressure-controlled reperfusion. After preparation and at least 15 minutes of stabilization all baseline values were measured. Two hours of warm hypoxic ischaemia followed. Then ventilation and reperfusion started, but with different intervals of pressure-controlled reperfusion from 0 to 30 minutes. Figure 3B depicts the protocol for the control group. After preparation and at least 15 minutes of stabilization all baseline values were measured. Two hours with normal ventilation and perfusion ensued without ischaemia followed by another two hours for measurements.
