CSF: cerebrospinal fluid; IL-6: interleukin 6, Lac: lactate, TNFa: tumor necrosis factor alpha. Data are displayed as median and interquartile range in parentheses. IL-6 and TNFa are expressed as pg/ml and lactate as mmol/L. Statistical significances (p < 0.05) are marked in bold. IAP, intra-abdominal pressure.
