Separate results for each group are presented for healthy sheep (HS, n = 7), healthy sheep on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (E24H, n = 7), sheep with smoke inhalation acute lung injury on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (SE24H, n = 6) and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters clearance (CL) and steady-state volume of distribution (Vss)
