LPS, E. coli lipopolysaccharide; ERP, early resuscitation protocol; MVD, microvascular density; PVD, perfused vascular density; MFI, microvascular flow index; HFI, heterogeneity flow index; PPV, proportion of perfused vessels (%). * p < .05 compared to baseline values; ‡p < .05 compared to LPS; §p < .05 compared to other groups.
