Table 2. Because of an early important mortality after CLP surgery, but before hemodynamic measurement were started (<18th hour), the number of rat has been increased in groups were rats died ≤ 18th hour (H18) after surgery.
Groups | Number of rats/group (+ rats added to compensate deaths <H18) | Global mortality before the end of experiment | Timing of death |
---|---|---|---|
SHAM | 5 | 0 (0%) | 0 |
CLP-HN | 12 | 1 (8.0%) | 1 rat at H21 |
CLP-AF | 12 (+ 3) | 3 (20.0%) | 3 rats < H18 |
CLP-AFA | 12 (+ 9) | 10 (47.6%) * | 9 rats < H18 and 1 rat at H21 |
* p < 0.05 versus CLP-HN and CLP-AF.
