Fig. 4From: Clinical improvement of sepsis by extracorporeal centrifugal leukocyte apheresis in a porcine modelComposition of the collections and peripheral blood. A Cell counts in the collection are expressed as a percentage of pretreatment cell counts in the blood. B Constituent proportions in the collected leukocytes. C, D and E represent changes in leukocytes, hemoglobin and platelets in the peripheral blood. The (*) stands for statistical significance between the two groups (P < 0.05). (Induction, baseline and sepsis induction; Pre-Tr, 12 h after sepsis induction and before treatment; Post-Tr, the end of treatment; End, 24 h after treatment and time before euthanasia.)Back to article page
