Fig. 2 Time (minutes) required to produce hypoxic cardiac arrest after withdrawal of ventilation from non–heart-beating donors. Phenylephrine (PE) 25 μg/kg versus saline controls (SC), p = 0.005 by analysis of variance. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1997 63, 1664-1668DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(97)00092-1)
Fig. 3 Mean left ventricular developed pressures in all groups after 45 minutes of reperfusion. Nonischemic controls (NC) versus all others, p = 0.00001 by analysis of variance. Phenylephrine (PE) 25 μg/kg versus saline controls (SC), p = 0.04 by planned comparison test of hypothesis. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1997 63, 1664-1668DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(97)00092-1)
