A. Low Volume Resuscitation (LVR) times for rodents in acute studies comparing the effectiveness of LVR solutions containing polyethylene glycol 20,000 (PEG-20k), Hextend, albumin, and saline controls. The numbers on the x-axis are the corresponding lactate concentrations in the plasma at the end of the LVR period. Most are close to 10 mM because that was the definition of the end of the LVR period. All agents were at a concentration of 5–20% by weight and were delivered at a volume equal to 10% or 5% of the calculated blood volume. * P<0.05 relative to all other values, all treated groups are significantly different from saline (control), all values are mean ± SD, n = 6–10 per group. B. Mean Arterial (blood) Pressure (MAP) measured at 15 min, 30 min, and at the end of the low volume resuscitation period for (6) groups of rats treated with various amounts of PEG-20k, Albumin, Hextend, or Saline as the low volume resuscitation solution. * P<0.05 relative to the other corresponding groups, # P<0.05 relative to all other corresponding values, n= 6–10 per group, all values are mean ± SD.
