From: Comparing effects of intraoperative fluid and vasopressor infusion on intestinal microcirculation
Microcirculatory parameters and tissue oxygen saturation of the terminal ileal mucosa and seromuscular layer. Primary outcome was compared using t test, and PVSD of the mucosa did not differ significantly between the Fluid DA and Norepinephrine DA groups [26.2 (3.2) vs 28.9 (2.5) mm/mm2, P = 0.077]. DA deep anesthesia, LA light anesthesia, PSVD perfused small vessel density, StO2 tissue oxygen saturation, TSVD total small vessel density. *P < 0.05 vs. the LA group and #P < 0.05 vs. the Norepinephrine DA group using repeated measures. At 240 min, †P < 0.05 vs. the LA group and ‡P < 0.05 vs. the Norepinephrine DA group using one-way ANOVA with the Tukey test.
