Figure 1From: The choice of the intravenous fluid influences the tolerance of acute normovolemic anemia in anesthetized domestic pigsTypical example of a recording of total body oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) in the course of the experimental protocol. A linear regression analysis including the calculation of SD was performed with VO2 values collected during the 60-minute stabilization period. During the subsequent hemodilution protocol, a critical limitation of oxygen delivery (DO2) was assumed, when three consecutive VO2 values fell below the lower 3σ-range.Back to article page
