    Graph shows the radial ethanol (RAe) and pulmonary arterial ethanol (PAe) levels measured simultaneously within 3 minutes after each ethanol injection. They were positively related with each other (r2 = .443).

    Bar chart shows the changes in mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), mean blood pressure (MBP), central venous pressure (CVP), peak airway pressure (PAwP), and peripheral oxygen saturation (Spo2) measured before and after each ethanol injection. Mean blood pressure and central venous pressure are expressed as millimeters of mercury. Peak airway pressure is expressed as centimeters of water. * indicates P < .05 compared to the value obtained before ethanol injection (paired t test).
