Figure 2

Cytokine production after whole blood stimulation with LPS or LTA, in plasma of healthy controls, cardiac arrest patients with a target temperature of 33°C and cardiac arrest patients with a target temperature of 36°C, after reaching target temperature (T = 1), at the end of the target temperature protocol (T = 2) and after reaching 37°C (T = 3). Healthy volunteers are marked by white bars; cardiac arrest patients with a target temperature of 33°C are marked by grey bars, cardiac arrest patients with a target temperature of 36°C are marked by black bars. Every measurement is preceded by a blank control stimulation. Data expressed as median with range. *P <0.05; **P <0.01. LPS: lipopolysaccharide; LTA: lipoteicoic acid.
