Blood gas values for various groups
| Groups | pH | PaO2 (mmHg) | PaCO2 (mmHg) | A-aDO2 (mmHg) |
| Heat, CLP | 7.34 ± 0.01 | 71 ± 5 | 53 ± 1 | 10 ± 3 |
| No heat, CLP | 7.37 ± 0.01 | 61 ± 5 | 53 ± 4 | 20 ± 2* |
| Heat alone | 7.32 ± 0.03 | 70 ± 5 | 56 ± 3 | 6 ± 2 |
| Control | 7.34 ± 0.01 | 61 ± 6 | 55 ± 3 | 16 ± 6 |
Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. *P < 0.03 compared with the heat, cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) group. A-aDO2, alveolar-arterial oxygen difference; PaCO2, arterial carbon dioxide tension; PaO2, arterial oxygen tension.
