Figure 2. Saline resuscitation improves blood pressure.
The median mean arterial blood pressure is represented on the Y axis. The X axis represents time points at which blood pressure were measured. Animals in both experimental arms had similar blood pressure during the hemorrhage and shock period. After initial bolus of resuscitation plasma increased blood pressure greater than saline, and continued to have a higher blood pressure during the observation period.
NS= normal saline; PFP = platelet free plasma; ng = nanogram
