Table 1. Hemodynamic and Metabolic Parameters
After 24 h, no sheep survived in the control or norepinephrine groups; two survived in the dopamine + norepinephrine, and three survived in the dobutamine + norepinephrine groups.
*P < 0.05, vs. control.
†P < 0.05, versus norepinephrine.
‡P < 0.05, versus dopamine + norepinephrine.
Do2= oxygen delivery; LVSW = left ventricular stroke work; PAOP = pulmonary artery occlusion pressure; PVR = pulmonary vascular resistance; SVR = systemic vascular resistance; Vo2= oxygen consumption.
