Comparison of various resuscitative measures after acute lung injury in surviving and nonsurviving lambs subjected to conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) with closed arteriovenous (AV) shunt or CMV with AV-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) using up to 15% AV shunt. aP values derived using Fisher's exact test. CO, cardfiac output; MAP, mean arterial pressure. |
