Figure 1From: Alterations of alveolar type II cells and intraalveolar surfactant after bronchoalveolar lavage and perfluorocarbon ventilation. An electron microscopical and stereological study in the rat lungArterial tension of oxygen in lavaged animals. Mean ± SD of arterial tension of oxygen (PaO2) in gas (X) and liquid (◆) ventilated animals prior to lavage (pre-lavage), after lavage (base line, 0 min) and during the subsequent hour of experiment. Values in the PF5080 group are significantly higher than in gas ventilated animals (* p < 0.0001).Back to article page
