Microcirculatory perfusion following CPB. Continuously perfused vessels (a) and non-perfused vessels (b) measured in rat cremaster muscle using intravital microscopy. Renal blood volume (c), renal vascular filling velocity (d), and estimate of renal perfusion (e) measured in the right renal cortex using contrast enhanced ultrasound in rats undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB; white boxes; n = 15) or rats undergoing CPB with aprotinin treatment (CPB + AP; red boxes; n = 15). Boxes and whiskers represent median, interquartile and full range, *p < 0.05 CPB vs. CPB baseline, #p < 0.05 CPB vs. CPB + AP
