Upper panel Mean arterial pressure remained stable in controls and after hemodilution with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) but decreased significantly, relative to controls and HES hemodilution groups, following hemodilution with saline (*p < 0.001 vs. baseline, #p < 0.05 vs. control and HES). Middle panel Brain PO2 decreased from baseline following hemodilution with both HES and saline (*p < 0.001 vs. baseline). Lower panel Skeletal muscle PO2 remained stable in control and HES hemodilution groups but was reduced relative to baseline and controls after saline hemodilution (*p < 0.001 vs. baseline, #p < 0.05 vs. control and HES)
