Cardiac function after multiple trauma—blood pressure. (A) dp/dt max in mmHg/s at baseline (BL), 3 and 6 h after multiple trauma (femur fracture, liver laceration, chest trauma and hemorrhagic shock) in pigs, presented as a combined trauma group consisting of femoral nailing and conventional reaming as treatment. (B) dp/dt min in mmHg/s at baseline (BL), 3 and 6 h after trauma in pigs. (C) Left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in mmHg at BL, 3 and 6 h after multiple trauma in pigs, p* < 0.05 compared to baseline. (D) Subgroup analysis of left ventricular end diastolic pressure in mmHg in animals with femoral nailing (nailing, black) or conventional reaming (conv, gray) at BL, 3 h and 6 h after multiple trauma, *p > 0.05 compared to baseline. (E) Maximal left ventricular pressure (LVP max) in mmHg at BL, 3 and 6 h after multiple trauma, *p < 0.05. (F) Subgroup analysis of maximal left ventricular pressure (LVP max) in mmHg in animals with femoral nailing (nailing, black) or conventional reaming (conv, gray) at BL, 3 and 6 h after multiple trauma, *p > 0.05 compared to baseline. (G) Minimal left ventricular pressure (LVP min) in mmHg at BL, 3 and 6 h after multiple trauma, *p < 0.05. (H) Left ventricular enddiastolic volume in ml. Combined multiple trauma group n = 10, femoral nailing n = 5, conventional reaming n = 5, sham n = 5.
