Hypothermia Improves Oral and Gastric Mucosal Microvascular Oxygenation during Hemorrhagic Shock in Dogs

Figure 2

Effect of normothermia (NT), hypothermia (HT), hemorrhage during normothermia (NT/HS), and hemorrhage during hypothermia (HT/HS) on gastric and oral microvascular hemoglobin oxygen saturation (μHbO2). Effects of hemorrhage: reduction of μHbO2 after 30 minutes of shock (3.0 h) versus μHbO2 before shock (2.5 h) during normothermia (NT/HS) and hypothermia (HT/HS). Effect of hypothermia without hemorrhage: change of μHbO2 at the corresponding time point (3.0 h) versus baseline conditions under normothermia (NT) and hypothermia (HT). Data are presented as absolute changes for dogs, mean ± SE, .
