Figure 2From: Organ preservation using a photosynthetic solutionSchema of photosynthetic respiratory support through the peritoneum (A). Arterial blood gas measurements (PO2, B; PCO2, C) in anesthetized rats under hypoventilation with () or without photosynthesis (○); (−) and (70), periods before and 15 min after 70 strokes/min of ventilation, respectively. Space between rat abdomen and gas-permeable pouch filled with 30% perfluorocarbon emulsion 45 min after starting hypoventilation (0 min). Values are means ± S.D (n = 6). * Significant difference (P < 0.05).Back to article page
