Figure 3

Histologic injury score of liver tissue. Scores were calculated as follows: injury not present (grade 0), less than or equal to 20% of the lobulus (grade 1), more than 20% to less than or equal to 50% (grade 2), or more than 50% (grade 3). The mean score for every animal was calculated out of 10 evaluations. Data are presented as the median with 25% to 75% interquartile range. Mann-Whitney rank sum test: #, p < 0.05 versus PCV+R (p < 0.05). H, haemorrhage; N, necrosis; PCV, pressure-controlled ventilation; PCV+R, pressure-controlled ventilation with recruitment manoeuvre; Sept. I., septal inflammation; Sinus. I., sinusoidal inflammation.
