Figure 2. Sodium nitroprusside. Data from nine pigs undergoing musculocutaneous free flap surgery under general anaesthesia. (A) Sodium nitroprusside:local. Flap vascular resistance (VR, flap), vascular resistance in the control extremity (VR, control), total flap blood flow (TBF, flap), total blood flow in the control extremity (TBF, control), and microcirculatory blood flow (MCF) as measured by laser Doppler flowmetry in the flap skin (MCF, flap skin), control skin (MCF, control skin), flap muscle (MCF, flap muscle), and control muscle (MCF, control muscle) during infusion of 0.7 [micro sign]g/min sodium nitroprusside into the feeding artery of the flap. (B) Sodium Nitroprusside:systemic. Flap vascular resistance (VR, flap), vascular resistance in the control extremity (VR, control), total flap blood flow (TBF, flap), total blood flow in the control extremity (TBF, control), microcirculatory blood flow as measured by laser Doppler flowmetry in flap skin (MCF, flap skin), control skin (MCF, control skin), flap muscle (MCF, flap muscle), and control muscle (MCF, control muscle) during systemic intravenous infusion of 6 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1[middle dot] min-1sodium nitroprusside. Values are plotted as mean relative changes to the baseline +/− SD. *P < 0.05 vs. baseline;**P < 0.01 vs. baseline (by the Wilcoxon test). [star][star]P < 0.01 for the difference between systemically and locally administered sodium nitroprusside (by the Mann-Whitney U test).
