Table 3.
Medians (25–75th percentiles) values of carotid vascular resistance computed at each time point for the two groups (septic pigs SS n = 9, sham pigs SH n = 7, if not stated otherwise in the table).
| T1 | T2 | T3 | T4 | T5 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carotid VR | SS | 10.5 (9.1,13.3)n=8 | 11.9 (10.8,14.7)n=8 | 7.4 (6.3,9.9) | 8.3 (7.1,9.1)°# | 9.3 (7.3,10.8) |
| SH | 9.5 (8.8,10.8)n=5 | 8.8 (8.6,9.8)n=5 * | 8 (7.6,8.7)n=6 | 8.7 (8.1,9.6)n=6 | 10.7 (8.1,10.9)n=6 | |
Carotid VR = carotid vascular resistance [mmHg/mL/min/Kg], Comparison between Sepsis and Sham: *p-value < 0.05 (Wilcoxon rank sum test). Wilcoxon signed test: °p < 0.05 with respect to T1, #p < 0.05 with respect to T2 (Friedman test p-value < 0.05).
