Figure 3. Brain parameters in pigs with ischaemic acute liver failure.

Figure 3

A) Intracranial Pressure (ICP) using a Codman catheter was recorded every 15 min, in mmHg. The rise after established acute ischaemic liver failure was halted when pigs were attached to the cell bead BAL (Group 1, n = 5, closed circles ·), whilst it continued to increase in Group 2 (empty bead BAL open circles o), n = 7. B) Brain oxygenation, normalised to 100% at time of ischaemia. There was an increase in brain oxygenation in Group 1 cell bead treated pigs (solid circles ·) compared with Group 2 (open circles o). Statistics compared the slopes of the line between groups with 95% confidence limits.
