1 Reduced inotropic support after aprotinin therapy during pediatric cardiac operations 
Carl F Wippermann, MD, Franz X Schmid, MD, Balthasar Eberle, MD, Ralf G Huth, MD, Christoph Kampmann, MD, Dietmar Schranz, MD, Helmut Oelert, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 67, Issue 1, Pages (January 1999) DOI: /S (98)

2 Fig 1 Left atrial pressure (LAP), shortening fraction, cumulative epinephrine dose [μg/kg], and cumulative enoximone dose [mg/kg] on arrival at the intensive care unit (ICU) 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after weaning from bypass in the aprotinin group (closed circles) and placebo group (open triangles). There were no significant differences between the two groups in LAP and the cumulative epinephrine dose. The shortening fraction in the placebo group was reduced immediately postoperatively but did not reach significance. With the exception of 6 hours after bypass the placebo group received more enoximone. Values are shown as mean ± standard deviation. (ns = not significant; ∗ p < 0.05).
