2. Fig. 1 Graph of the change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) with time for the treatment groups in experiment I. There was a significant difference (asterisk) between the baseline value and the value at thirty minutes for the animals that had insertion... PAUL J. DUWELIUS et al.

3. Fig. 2 Graph of the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in the normal lungs with time for the treatment groups in experiment II. The value for the animals that had insertion of a femoral nail with reaming (circles) was significantly greater (asterisk) than... PAUL J. DUWELIUS et al.
