Table 1. Hematocrit and Acid–Base Status
Hematocrit Pao2, Paco2, base excess (BE), and pH were measured at baseline, at the end of shock (2 h; 35–40 mmHg) or time-matched sham operation (control), and at the end of the experiment (6 h); resuscitation was achieved by transfusion of stored blood (SB) or by infusion of pentastarch with or without addition of perflubron emulsion (PFE) in a dose-dependent fashion (2.7 or 5.4 g/kg body weight). Data are presented as mean ± SD for n = 8 animals per group.
*P < 0.05 compared to control.
†P < 0.05 compared to stored blood (SB).
