Text: However, the pattern of impaired organ systems was influenced by CVVH : while the post-traumatic decrease in platelet count in patients subjected to CVVH was more pronounced than in controls (e. g. day 4 : control : 115, 080 + / - 15, 087, CVVH : 57, 383 + / - 4, 201 microliters-1 ; p < 0. 05) the development of hyperdynamic circulatory failure was simultaneously attenuated, as reflected by a limited increased in cardiac output and an attenuated decrease in systemic vascular resistance and oxygen extraction ratio (e. g. systemic vascular resistance on day 4 : control : 624. 3 + / - 46. 17, CVVH : 842. 7 + / - 79. 24 dyn. s. cm-5 ; p < 0. 005).
