Dose-Dependent Hemodynamic, Biochemical, and Tissue Oxygen Effects of OC99 following Severe Oxygen Debt Produced by Hemorrhagic Shock in Dogs

Figure 1

(a) OC99 plasma hemoglobin (Hbp) concentration versus tissue oxygen tension (tPO2). (b) OC99 Hbp concentration versus mean pulmonary artery (PAP) pressure. (c) Change in PAP when 0.65 g/kg OC99 is administered at 30 ml/kg/hr or 10 ml/kg/hr; each symbol represents a different dog. Solid circles: Hextend without OC99; open circles: repeat doses of Hextend with increasing concentrations of OC99 administered over 10 minutes. Solid triangle: Hextend with OC99 administered over 30 minutes.
