  1. Data are given as mean ± SD. The LiEL, LiE, LiL groups displayed differences in PH (P < 0.001; LiEL vs LiE, P = 0.001; LiEL vs LiL, P = 0.001); The LiEL, LiE, LiL groups displayed differences in PaCO2 (P < 0.001; LiEL vs LiL, P = 0.003); The LiEL, LiE, LiL groups displayed differences in BE(P = 0.001; LiEL vs LiE, P = 0.002; LiEL vs LiL, P = 0.002); The LiEL, LiE, LiL groups displayed differences in PaO2 (P < 0.001; LiEL vs LiE, P < 0.001; LiEL vs LiL, P < 001); The LiEL, LiE, LiL groups displayed differences in LAC (P = 0.008; LiEL vs LiE, P = 0.026; LiEL vs LiL, P = 0.008). * P < 0.05 vs LiEL.
