Table 1. Changes in intraventricular pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse rate due to Queckenstedt's test.

Time point IVP (mmHg) p-value MAP (mmHg) p-value PR (beats/min) p-value
Before Q-test 3.4±2.0 88.8±12.7 348.3±69.1
During Q-test 9.9±2.2 0.008 75.3±16.7 0.008 341.2±80.5 0.515
<30sec After Q-test 3.5±1.8 0.953 87.0±13.7 0.314 337.0±76.1 0.028
>30sec After Q-test 3.5±2.3 0.594 89.0±12.0 0.953 319.3±47.2 0.173

(n = 9).

<30 sec After Q-test: less than 30 seconds after Q-test.

>30 sec After Q-test: more than 30 seconds after Q-test.

Abbreviations: IVP, intraventricular pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure; PR, pulse rate; Q-test, Queckenstedt's test. For p-values, comparison is to the initial time point (before Q-test).
