Figure 1. Survival of control animals and ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) animals subjected to normothermic and hypothermic conditions. Eleven of the 12 control animals (•-•) and 2 of the 12 normothermic animals subjected to intestinal I/R (○-○) survived the 2-hour reperfusion period. However, all 12 animals subjected to hypothermia (□-□) survived and 11 of 12 hypothermic animals that were subsequently rewarmed (▵-▵) survived. Data presented are for the reperfusion phase.
