Fig. 3From: Kv7 voltage-activated potassium channel inhibitors reduce fluid resuscitation requirements after hemorrhagic shock in ratsXE-991 reduces resuscitation fluid requirements after hemorrhagic shock. Animals were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of 25 mmHg for 30 min, followed by fluid resuscitation to a MAP of 70 mmHg. At the end of the shock period (t = 30 min), vehicle (n = 3, open squares) or 1 mg/kg XE-991 (n = 3, black squares) in 0.5 mL normal saline were injected intravenously. Arrows indicate the time point of drug injection. *: p < 0.05 vs. vehicle. a. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP, mmHg). b. Hemorrhage volume in % of total blood volume (%BV hemorrhage). c.
