Preclinical Modeling of DCD Class III Donation: Paving the Way for the Increased Use of This Challenging Donor Type

Figure 2

Donor surveillance parameters: Pigs were followed during the protocol for key parameters in the DCD Class III definition. (a) Mean Arterial pressure; (b) Heart Rate; (c) Cardiac Output; (d) EtCO2. Shown are individual data points as well as mean±SD. Statistics were performed with the Friedman test. Overall p value in the Friedman test was 0.014 for MAP, <0.001 for Heart Rate, 0.012 for Cardiac output, and <0.001 for EtCO2.
