Figure 2From: Rat model of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation Haemodynamics and myocardial contractility pre and post VA-ECMO resuscitation of hypoxic cardiac arrest. Phases of the experiment showing blood pressure changes during hypoxia, ischaemia, and VA-ECMO resuscitation (A). Pressure-volume loops pre-arrest (B) and post VA-ECMO resuscitation (C) showing an impairment in the end-systolic pressure volume relationship (upper slope of the PV loops) but preserved pre-load recruitable stroke work.Back to article page
