Hypothermia Improves Oral and Gastric Mucosal Microvascular Oxygenation during Hemorrhagic Shock in Dogs
Figure 4
Effect of normothermia (NT), hypothermia (HT), hemorrhagic shock during normothermia (NT/HS), and hemorrhage during hypothermia (HT/HS) on oral mucosal perfusion (μflow), red blood cell velocity (μVel), and amount of tissue haemoglobin (μHb). Effects of hemorrhage: change of μflow, μVel, and μHb after 30 minutes of shock (3.0 h) versus μflow, μVel, and μHb before shock (2.5 h) during normothermia (NT/HS) and hypothermia (HT/HS). Effect of hypothermia without hemorrhage: change of μflow, μVel, and μHb 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, .
