<p>Hemodynamic parameters in arrested animals with chest compressions after ROSC.</p

Experimental Protocol.

<p>Group Ia = non-arrested with chest compressions (to a depth of 5cm); Group Ib = non-arrested with chest compressions (to a depth of 3cm); Group IIa = arrested with chest compressions (to a depth of 5cm) only; Group IIb = arrested with chest compressions (to a depth of 3cm) only; Group IIIa = compressions to a depth of 5cm continued after ROSC; Group IIIb = compressions to a depth of 3cm continued after ROSC; Group IIIc = chest compressions stopped after ROSC; ROSC = return of spontaneous circulation; VF = ventricular fibrillation; CC = chest compressions; DF = defibrillation; SC = stop compressions.</p

Hemodynamic values in arrested animals with chest compressions after ROSC.

<p>Group IIIa = compressions to a depth of 5cm continued after ROSC; Group IIIb = compressions to a depth of 3cm continued after ROSC; Group IIIc = chest compressions stopped after ROSC; CC1 = chest compressions to a depth of 5cm; DF = ROSC after defibrillation; CC2 = chest compressions in Group IIIa (5cm) and IIIb (3cm) and the same time in Group IIIc; SC = stop compressions in Group IIIa and IIIb and the same time in Group IIIc; ROSC = return of spontaneous circulation; HR = heart rate; SAP = systolic arterial pressure; DAP = diastolic arterial pressure; MAP = mean arterial pressure; CPP = coronary perfusion pressure. *: statistically significant difference between treatment groups.</p

Hemodynamic values in non-arrested animals with chest compressions.

<p>CC = chest compressions; AC = after compressions. Group Ia = non-arrested with chest compressions (to a depth of 5cm); Group Ib = non-arrested with chest compressions (to a depth of 3cm); HR = heart rate; SAP = systolic arterial pressure; DAP = diastolic arterial pressure; MAP = mean arterial pressure; CPP = coronary perfusion pressure.*: statistically significant difference between treatment groups.</p
