Figure 1From: Aggravation of myocardial dysfunction by injurious mechanical ventilation in LPS-induced pneumonia in ratsIn vivo measurements in the course of time (LPS=lipopolysaccharide; LVt=low tidal volume (V t ) ventilation, HVt=high V t ventilation). Mean arterial pressure (A), central venous pressure (B) and heart rate (C). Cardiac output (D) decreased by the interaction between LPS installation and HVt ventilation.Back to article page
