Ileal mucosal oxygen tension in pigs infused with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (150 μg/kg; n = 6) or normal saline (n = 4). The animals were resuscitated with lactated Ringer's solution and dextran-70 solution to maintain a cardiac output of 90–110% of the baseline value. Mucosal oxygen tension (pO2) histograms were obtained with an array of Clark-type O2-sensitive electrodes driving an amplifier and a computerized data acquisition system.
