Data are expressed as means ± SEM. Means with different letters differ, p < 0.05. Group 1, n = 5: focal injuries + apnea, hypoventilation; Group 2, n = 4: focal injuries + seizures; Group 3, n = 7: focal injuries + apnea, hypoventilation + seizures. ^*Treatment 1 tended to be different than treatment 3, p = 0.053.

BEEcf, Base excess in the extracellular fluid compartment; SEM, standard error of the mean.
