Effects of Acute Bleeding Followed by Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 or a Crystalloid on Propofol Concentrations, Cerebral Oxygenation, and Electroencephalographic and Haemodynamic Variables in Pigs

Table 2

Mean arterial pressure (MAP: mmHg), heart rate (HR: bpm), cardiac output (CO: L min−1), SvjO2 (%), cerebral oxygen saturation given by the INVOS, % of oxygen extraction (SpO2-SvjO2), propofol plasma concentration ( : μg/mL), and propofol metabolites concentration ( : μg/mL) at each study phase: A: right before the start of bleeding; B: at the end of bleeding/start of the waiting period; C: at the end of the waiting period/start of the volume replacement period; D: at the end of the volume replacement period/start of the final phase; and E: at the end of the study. GLR: group that received lactated Ringer’s for volume replacement; GHES: group that received hydroxyethyl starch for volume replacement. Mean ± standard deviation is shown. The number of animals ( ) in each group for each parameter is shown.
