Arterial Pulsatility Augments Microcirculatory Perfusion and Maintains the Endothelial Integrity during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation via hsa_circ_0007367 Upregulation in a Canine Model with Cardiac Arrest

Figure 1

Pulsatility improves the microcirculatory parameters in on-ECMO animal models with cardiac arrest. (a) Animals were exposed to nonpulsatile or pulsatile circuits, and PVD were measured at different time points; (b) animals were exposed to nonpulsatile or pulsatile circuits, and MFI were measured at different time points. Significantly different between groups, ; significantly different between groups, . Abbreviations: ECMO: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; PVD: perfused vessel density; MFI: microvascular flow index.
