Figure Lengend Snippet: A-C) Results for ACh iontophoresis, comparing pre-operative values with post-CPB values. D-F) Results for nitroprusside (SNP) iontophoresis. All data are expressed in perfusion units (PUs). AUC=area under the curve for 10 minute measurement period after being zeroed to baseline values. Lines within shaded area represent medians, edges of shaded area represent 1st and 3rd quartiles, and whiskers represent maximum and minimum values. Wilcoxon Rank Sum used to compare post-op values to pre-op values. * Indicates p<0.05.
Article Snippet: To measure the response to iontophoresis, PeriSoft Version 2.5 for Windows (Perimed, Stockholm, Sweden) was used to calculate the peak perfusion value and the AUC for the 10 minute monitoring period. provides an example of a complete set of perfusion recordings for a single patient.
