Table 2.

Temperature-corrected median (n = 5 each group) blood-gas values (range) for terrapins after in-air or underwater AEP measurements.

	Anesthesia time (min)	Corrected pH	Corrected pCO2 (mm Hg)	Corrected pO2 (mm Hg)	Lactate (mmol/L)
In-air	114 (110–119)	7.431 (7.391–7.549)	26.6 (26.0–30.9)	44 (34–56)	3.04 (0.30-6.73)
Underwater	105 (100–119)	7.461 (7.252–7.639)	26.9 (16.5–40.0)	49 (24–88)	1.96 (1.28-4.31)

Grossly lymph-contaminated samples were not included in this summary. The underwater group consists of terrapins that were intubated and manually ventilated, and the in-air group consists of those that were not; the 2 terrapins intubated and ventilated for in-air AEP measurements were excluded from this comparison.
