Overview of the experimental study design and summary of the clinical/hemodynamic parameters. Clinical/hemodynamic parameters (weight, heart rate, MAP, CPP, CO) and arterial blood gas analyses of animals of the ACA and VFCA group at baseline, ROSC and 4 h post-ROSC, along with the p-values for the intergroup comparison calculated using the Student’s t-test. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Vertical lines in the scheme indicate blood draws. ACA = asphyxial cardiac arrest group; VFCA = ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest group; ROSC = return of spontaneous circulation; MAP = mean arterial pressure; CPP = coronary perfusion pressure; CO = cardiac output; SD = standard deviation; bpm = beats per minute; pO₂ = arterial oxygen tension; pCO₂ = arterial carbon dioxide tension.
