  1. All variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. 'Baseline' indicates measurements taken before mesenteric vessel trauma; 'haemorrhagic shock' indicates values taken at the point of experimental intervention (mean arterial pressure <20 mmHg and heart rate <30% of its peak value); and 'experimental therapy' indicates vasopressin, fluid resuscitation, or saline placebo administration without bleeding control. Statistical comparison was only performed at baseline and haemorrhagic shock: *P < 0.05 for placebo versus vasopressin. -, not applicable because of death in fluid-resuscitated and placebo-treated animals; DA, drug administration; Paco2, arterial carbon dioxide tension; Pao2, arterial oxygen tension.
