Data are shown as mean ± SD. Statistical significance (P < 0.05) when the value was compared with T0 (baseline values). PaO2/FiO2: arterial oxygen tension to inspired oxygen fraction ratio (mmHg); PaCO2, carbon dioxide partial pressure (mmHg); Lact−1: Blood Lactate (mmol/L). ABEc: deficit base (mmol/L).
