Table 4 Differences in Stewart parameters when comparing octanoate with normal saline after fluid infusion

From: Acid–base changes after fluid bolus: sodium chloride vs. sodium octanoate

Variable	Group	DFB	DFBstderr	Probt
SIDa(mEq/L)	Octanoate	-2.157	0.927	P < 0.001
SIDa(mEq/L)	Normal saline	-6.413	0.948	P < 0.001
SIDe(mEq/L)	Octanoate	-0.288	0.409	P < 0.001
SIDe(mEq/L)	Normal saline	-3.242	0.422	P < 0.001
SIG(mEq/L)	Octanoate	-1.866	0.996	P = 0.068
SIG(mEq/L)	Normal saline	-3.167	1.019	P = 0.068

DFB, difference from baseline; DFBstderr, standard error of difference from baseline; Probt, significance of overall difference; SID, strong ion difference; SIG, strong ion gap.
