(A) Extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), (B) arterial oxygen partial pressure/inspired oxygen fraction ratio (PaO₂/FiO₂), (C) Hematocrit (Hct), and (D) total plasma protein (TPP) of six anesthetized dogs (mean ± SD) that did not undergo any intervention (Control treatment, open circles) or that underwent hemorrhage and randomly received volume replacement with lactated Ringer's solution (LRS treatment, triangles) or with 6% tetrastarch (TS treatment, squares) at a ratio of 3 : 1 or 1 : 1 the volume of shed blood, respectively. Variables recorded before hemorrhage (BL), immediately after blood withdrawal over 30 minutes (BW), immediately after volume replacement over 30 minutes (VR), and during 4 hour after VR. a, b, c Significant difference between treatment groups are shown by different letters (P ≤ 0.05). Dashed line in (A) represents the target Hct (33%).
