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.
