The Effect of a Modified Constant Flow Insufflation of Oxygen during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in a Rat Model of Respiratory Cardiac Arrest on Arterial Oxygenation, Alveolar Barotrauma, and Brain Tissue Injury

Figure 3

Neurologic deficit scores 24 hours (a) and 48 hours (b) after the return of spontaneous circulation in a rat model of respiratory arrest. Sham group (n = 10), IPPV group (n = 6), CFIO group (n = 5), and compared to the sham group; compared to the IPPV group. NDS, neurologic deficit score; IPPV, intermittent positive pressure ventilation; CFIO, continuous flow insufflation of oxygen.
