$Hematocrit, lung function, and physiological variables for sham, 14-day erythrocyte transfusion, and 42-day erythrocyte transfusion pigs. (A) Mean hematocrit, (B) Pao2/Fio2 ratios, (C) tidal volumes per kilogram of body weight, (D) arterial carbon dioxide tension, and (E) central venous pressure. Data represents mean (±SEM). * P < 0.05 versus sham. CVP = central venous pressure; Fio2 = fraction of inspired oxygen; Paco2 = arterial carbon dioxide tension; Pao2 = arterial oxygen tension; Tx = transfusion.$
