3 Fig 2 The trends of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in survivors and nonsurvivors. The solid line with open circles represents survivors, and the dotted line with open triangles represents nonsurvivors. t1: before initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, t2: during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and before start of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning, t3: the day after removal of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and t4: 4 days after removal of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. (*Significant difference among survivors and nonsurvivors.) The vertical bar represents the range.
