Figure 2.
Hemodynamic variables measured during experiment steps in the hemorrhage and nitroprusside (SNP) groups. Steps T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 correspond to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of blood removal from estimated volemic state (hemorrhage group). In the SNP group, mean arterial pressure (MAP) achieved corresponds to the MAP observed at each bleeding step set in the hemorrhage group. Bars “a” (Hemorrhage) and “b” (SNP) correspond to p < 0.05 to baseline (Student’s t-test). An asterisk shows statistical differences (p < 0.05) between groups (ANOVA test).
