Figure 2From: The effects of salbutamol on epithelial ion channels depend on the etiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome but not the route of administrationHeart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) during the experimental protocol. All values are expressed as mean and standard deviation. Effects of initiation of mechanical ventilation were tested with a paired t-test. Differences between and within groups (group and time effects, T5, T30, T60 as well as their interactions) were tested separately for ARDSp and ARDSexp using two-way ANOVA and adjusted for repeated measures according to the Bonferroni method. SALB = salbutamol; CTRL = control; i.t. = intratracheally; i.v. = intravenously; BL1 = baseline 1; BL2 = baseline 2; T5, T30, and T60 = 5, 30, and 60 min after initiation of therapy; ARDSp = pulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome; ARDSexp = extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome; ns = non-significant; * = p < 0.05 vs. CTRL; ** = p < 0.01 vs. CTRL; *** = p < 0.001 vs. CTRL; # = p < 0.05 vs. SALB; ### = p < 0.001 vs. SALB.Back to article page
