Values are shown as mean ± SD. CPR was performed with either SCPR or SCPR + PC. All pressures in mmHg, all flows in mL/min. SBP = systolic blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure, RA = right atrial pressure, CPP = coronary perfusion pressure, CBF = carotid blood flow, LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction (%).

^*Mean statistically significant difference between groups with p < 0.05 SCPR: standard CPR; PC: postconditioning.
