|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sham | 136 ± 10 | 432 (404/444) |
420 ± 74 | 7.42 ± 0.02 | 87 ± 10 |
| Sepsis | 121 ± 11 | 468 (447/477) |
402 ± 68 | 7.40 ± 0.09 | 91 ± 20 |
| Sepsis + TEA | 129 ± 16 | 420 (297/480) |
391 ± 152 | 7.39 ± 0.09 | 90 ± 11 |
Twenty-four hours after induction of sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture and sham procedure, respectively. None of these parameters were significantly altered by sepsis or sepsis + thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA). Data (n = 7) each group are displayed as mean ± 95% confidence interval (CI) or median (25%/75% percentile).
CO = cardiac output; HR = heart rate; MAP = mean arterial pressure; PaO2 = partial pressure of arterial oxygen.
