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

Figure 3

Effect of normothermia (NT), hypothermia (HT), hemorrhage during normothermia (NT/HS), and hemorrhage during hypothermia (HT/HS) on oral mucosal oxygen delivery (μDO₂) and oxygen consumption (μVO₂). Effects of hemorrhage: change of μDO₂ and VO₂ after 30 minutes of shock (3.0 h) versus μDO₂ and μVO₂ before shock (2.5 h) during normothermia (NT/HS) and hypothermia (HT/HS). Effect of hypothermia without hemorrhage: change of μDO₂ and μVO₂ at the corresponding time point (3.0 h) versus baseline conditions under normothermia (NT) and hypothermia (HT). Data are presented as absolute changes for 𝑛=5 dogs, mean ± SE, ^∗𝑃<0.05.
