From: Length of pressure-controlled reperfusion is critical for reducing ischaemia-reperfusion injury in an isolated rabbit lung model

Figure 6

Mean pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascularresistance Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP, A) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR, B) during 2 hours of isolated buffer-perfused rabbit lungs following 120 min of warm hypoxic ischaemia, except for control animals. Rabbits of group A (●) had no pressure-controlled reperfusion (PCR), whereas rabbits of group B (△) had 5, C (◇) 15 or D (○) 30 minutes of PCR, respectively. Values are presented as means ± standard deviation. Overall differences between groups are presented (see text for details on post-hoc pairwise comparisons).
