Table 1. Acute injury measures.
SHAM | FX | TBI | MULTI | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Apnea | 0 | 0 | 32.5±4.1a | 25.1±3.0a |
Hindlimb | 42.0±3.9 | 38.4±4.9 | 183.4±18.0a | 191.7±23.7a |
Self-righting | 68.9±5.0 | 66.3±6.3 | 277.3±20.7a | 261.5±27.9a |
Abbreviations: FX, tibial fracture; MULTI, multitrauma; SHAM, sham-injuries; TBI, traumatic brain injury.
The TBI and MULTI groups experienced significantly longer apnea, unconsciousness, and self-righting reflex times (seconds) than the SHAM and FX groups. The TBI and MULTI groups did not differ from each other on any of the measures.
Greater than SHAM and FX groups, P<0.05.
