Evolution of Hemodynamic, blood gas and biochemical parameters in LPS group and control group.

Black LPS group (n = 8); Grey control group (n = 7) at baseline (H0), H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 after LPS (LPS group) or saline injection (control group). FHR = fetal heart rate, IL-6 = interleukin 6. Data are presented on median with interquartile rang. Comparisons between stability phase and H1 to H6 were performed, in LPS group and control group, using a Wilcoxon test if nonparametric Friedmans’ test found a statistical significance. * = Statistical significance was assumed for p < 0.05 in comparison to baseline in LPS group. No significantly change was found in control group. Comparisons between LPS and control group were performed using a Mann-Whitney test. ▲ = Statistical significance was assumed for p < 0.05 between LPS and control groups.
