Table 2 Peak, plateau pressure and perfusate lactate, pCO2 and pH values between both groups
From: Flow-controlled ventilation during EVLP improves oxygenation and preserves alveolar recruitment
VCV (n = 7) median with IQR | FCV (n = 7) median with IQR | p value (Mann–Whitney) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Peak pressures at 6 h EVLP | 20 (17–25) cm H2O | 22 (20–27) cm H2O | p = 0.51 |
Plateau pressures at 6 h EVLP | 8 (8–9) cm H2O | – | – |
Intratracheal pressures at 6 h EVLP | – | 22 (20–27) cm H2O | – |
pCO2 at 6 h EVLP ‘inflow’ (pulmonary artery) | 42 (40–43) mmHg | 41 (39–44) mmHg | p > 0.99 |
pCO2 at 6 h EVLP ‘outflow’ (left atrium) | 36 (35–39) mmHg | 37 (36–39) mmHg | p = 0.38 |
pH at 6 h EVLP outflow | 7.40 (7.39–7.41) | 7.38 (7.37–7.40) | p = 0.23 |
Lactate at 6 h EVLP outflow | 12 (11–13) mg/dL | 13 (13–14) mg/dL | p = 0.18 |
