Figure 1. Physiological parameters of animal models subjected to endovascular inducement.

(a) Systolic blood pressure, (b) diastolic blood pressure and (d) rectal temperatures were increased at 3 h after the onset of ischemia in the micro-catheter group comparing to baseline values. No significant difference was found for (c) heart rate, (e) SaO₂, (f) (pCO₂), (g) haematocrit, and (h) glucose when adopting the two endovascular methods. *P < 0.05. SaO₂: oxygen saturation; pCO₂: partial pressure of carbon dioxide.
