  1. Blood gases and arterial blood pressure in animals under controlled mechanical ventilation treated with either saline (CMV) or with 5 mg/kg methylprednisolone (MP-5) or 30 mg/kg of methylprednisolone (MP-30). For the control (C) group no hemodynamic measurements are available. Values are mean ± SD.
