  1. Legend: Fluid volume is the mean of total volume given in resuscitative measure for that particular group ± the standard deviation. The use of Dopamine and Dobutamine is expressed as percentage of animals in each group that received pressors. *P-values reflect testing for differences across the groups (Fisher's Exact Test).
