Figure 2 Extended studies: sub-group 1. The Qp of these nine patients increased by 40% during a standard study, but then returned towards baseline 15 min after re-instituting positive pressure ventilation (IPPV2). This would suggest that the duration of hemodynamic benefit of NPV at this early stage did not exceed the period of its use.
