Thrombin-antithrombin complexes (TATc) levels and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. TATc levels and PAI-1 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in control mice, and in mice ventilated with low tidal volumes (LV_T) and high V_T(HV_T) for five hours. Two fluid strategies (normal saline (white boxes) and sodium bicarbonate (grey boxes)) were compared. Data represent median and interquartile range of six mice. ‡p < 0.001 (HV_T vs. LV_T).
