5. Figure 4.
Effects of pentoxifylline on MABP (top) and HR (bottom). Pentoxifylline alleviated the reduction in hemodynamic parameters produced by acid aspiration. Data are presented as mean ± SD *p < 0.05 compared with placebo. See Figure 1 legend for expansion of abbreviations.

6. Figure 5.
Kaplan-Meier survival curves of all animals classified according to pentoxifylline or placebo treatment. Survival was significantly better in the PTX group (p < 0.02). Data represent percentage survival of 12 placebo-treated rats and 12 pentoxifylline-treated rats up to 6 h after acid aspiration. See Figure 1 legend for expansion of abbreviations.

7. Figure 6.
Top: Spiral CT scan of the upper thorax reveals air-filled lungs of a pentoxifylline-treated animal with slightly increased lung attenuation. Bottom: Color-coding of the density values allows visualization of even subtle changes within the lung tissue (blue indicates air-filled lung tissue, green indicates edema, and red indicates atelectasis).

8. Figure 7.
Top: Spiral CT scan of a surviving placebo-treated rat lung demonstrating increased attenuation with some minor consolidation. Bottom: Color-coded imaging results in a green to yellow or red appearance (blue indicates air-filled lung tissue, green indicates edema, and red indicates atelectasis).
