From: Male versus female inflammatory response after brain death model followed by ex vivo lung perfusion
Ventilation and oxygenation performance during ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP). Positive inspiratory pressure (A), compliance (B), elastance (C) and PaO2/FiO2 ratio from perfusate leaving the lung (venous) (D). Animals were submitted to brain death (BD—4 h) and their lungs were placed in the EVLP (4 h). As controls, Sham animals had their lungs placed in the EVLP (4 h). The data are expressed as mean ± SEM from five animals. (B) P < 0.0001 by BD; (C) P = 0.0567 by Time; (D) P = 0.0077 by Sex, calculated with three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)
