Effect of Intravenous Lidocaine on Inflammatory and Apoptotic Response of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Pigs Undergoing Lung Resection Surgery

Table 3

Histopathological assessment of edema and congestion in ischemia-reperfusion lung injury by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Samples were collected 60 minutes after reperfusion.

: number of cases in the group; : percentage of cases in the group; CON: control group; LIDO: group treated with lidocaine; SHAM: simulated surgery group. The degree of congestion was higher in the CON group than in the non-ischemia-reperfusion group (CON vs. SHAM, ).
