Figure 4From: Resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock with normal saline vs. lactated Ringer's: effects on oxygenation, extravascular lung water and haemodynamicsMean PVPI during resuscitation. Boxplots for mean pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) at the time when the difference in extravascular lung water index between the two groups first became significant. A significant difference between the two groups was found (normal saline (NS) 3.6 ± 0.25 vs. lactated Ringer's solution (LR) 2.9 ± 0.13; p = 0.014).Back to article page
