Figure 5. (A-VDLACTATE). In the air group, A-VDLACTATE was more negative at baseline than the CO-treated group, became positive during warming on CPB, and was negative immediately after weaning from CPB, 1 hour after CPB, and 3 hours after CPB.
In contrast, A-VDLACTATE was negative during CPB and become positive after weaning from CPB. At 6 hours after CPB, A-VDLACTATE was positive in both groups. Data represent the means ± SD of 6 animals/group, p<0.05 at 1 hour after CPB and 3 hours after CPB. * indicates statistical significance. 5 (LGI%). LGI% was similar at baseline and negative in both groups during cooling on CPB. In the air group, LGI% became positive during warming on CPB. LGI% was negative in the CO_treated animals during warming on CPB but was positive thereafter. Data represent the means ± SD of 6 animals/group, p<0.05 at 1 hour after CPB and 3 hours after CPB. * indicates statistical significance.
