Acute effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and two levels of mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) on lactate/pyruvate (LP) ratio obtained from a microdialysis catheter placed in the jugular bulb (upper panel) and the simultaneous MAP levels (lower panel). Data are shown as median (IQR). The interrupted line (upper panel) indicates reference level (Mean) for LP ratio in human jugular venous blood (43). *Significant difference from baseline. **Significant difference between corresponding datapoints by one-way analysis of variance and corrected for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni test (α = 0.006). Values are median and error with inter quartile range (n = 10). Figures by permission from (43).
