Figure 2From: Small volume of hypertonic saline as the initial fluid replacement in experimental hypodynamic sepsisMixed venous (SvO2) and portal (SpO2) oxygen saturation (%, mean ± standard error of the mean) during the experimental protocol. LR group received lactated Ringer's solution 32 ml/kg over 30 minutes, n = 7; HS group received 7.5% hypertonic saline solution 4 ml/kg over 5 minutes, n = 8. *p < 0.05 versus T0, both groups; †p < 0.05 versus HS; ‡LR, p < 0.05 versus T0.
