Figure 1: Hemodynamics during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
Graphs represent: A, aortic diastolic blood pressure (DBP); B, mean aortic blood pressure (MAP); C, coronary perfusion pressure (CoPP); D, mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP); E, cerebral perfusion pressure (CePP); and F, relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during the first ten minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Values are 15-second means for each variable with standard error of the mean depicted with error bars. Blue squares = hemodynamic-directed CPR (HD-CPR) with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). Gray circles = HD-CPR without iNO. All pressures are mmHg. rCBF is % baseline relative to the first minute (pre-iNO) of CPR. Values from minutes 1–10 compared between groups using a generalized estimating equation accounting for clustering within subjects. *Indicates statistically significant (p<0.05) difference between groups.
