From: Volume replacement with Ringer-lactate is detrimental in severe hemorrhagic shock but protective in moderate hemorrhagic shock: studies in a rat model

Figure 1

Effects of Ringer-saline (RS) and Ringer-lactate (RL) on survival after shock. Rats were subjected to moderate or severe hemorrhage, resuscitated with either Ringer-saline (RS) or Ringer-lactate (RL), and then observed until all animals of the shock/RS and the shock/RL group died (between T = 50 and T = 150 minutes). The survival of each group is shown as a Kaplan-Meier plot (n = 8, logrank *P <0.05; vs. severe shock/RL, # P <0.05 vs. severe and moderate shock/RS groups).
