All groups were normalised against the trauma control group at t = 72 hours. (a) No significant difference between the untreated traumatised control group and the group treated only with 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) could be observed. The addition of 0.1% DMSO was necessary to solve the lipophilic propofol in an aqueous medium. The detected trauma in the non-traumatised group and in the group with hypothermia was significantly lower compared with the trauma control group. * P ≤ 0.05. (b) The trauma intensity increased steadily over time, which has been shown before. This is demonstrated by slices (n = 14). Values were normalised against the trauma intensity at t = 72 hours.
