Fig. 3From: Hyperoxia during extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for refractory cardiac arrest is associated with severe circulatory failure and increased mortalityCharacteristics of patients dying from circulatory or neurological cause during ECPR. A Duration of low flow; B first value of arterial lactate after ECPR initiation; C length of stay (LOS) in the ICU; D mean PaO2 during the first 24Â h of ECPR; E mean blood pressure during the first 24Â h of ECPR; F total catecholamines administered during the first 72Â h of ECPR. On the X-axis, C means death from circulatory failure and N means death from neurological causes. Box plots show median, 1st and 3rd quartiles, whiskers indicate minimal and maximal valuesBack to article page
