Mean PVPI during resuscitation. Boxplots for mean pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) at the time when the difference in extravascular lung water index between the two groups first became significant. A significant difference between the two groups was found (normal saline (NS) 3.6 ± 0.25 vs. lactated Ringer's solution (LR) 2.9 ± 0.13; p = 0.014).
