Figure 1.
Time-dependency of arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) during partial liquid ventilation (PLV). Changes in PaO2 during PLV with four different doses of the perfluorocarbon FC 3280 (7.5, 15,
22.5 and 30 ml/kg). Baseline denotes measurements of PaO2 in the healthy, anaesthetized animals;acute lung injury (ALI) denotes values after
the induction of lung injury; 5 and 30 min denote determination of PaO2 after 5 and 30 min PLV with each dose of perfluorocarbon. *P < 0.05 versus ALI, #P < 0.05 versus values after 5 min with the same dose of perfluorocarbon.
