Influence of anastomoses on intestine ischemia and cefuroxime concentrations: Evaluated in the ileum and colon in a porcine model

Figure 1 The mean lactate/pyruvate ratios for anastomosis and non-anastomosis ileum and colon. The ischemic cut-off of 25 is marked with a dotted line. Bars represent 95% confidence interval.

Figure 2 The mean ischemic metabolite concentration differences (%) between anastomosis and non-anastomosis (anastomosis/non-anastomosis) ileum and colon. Bars represent 95% confidence interval. MIC: Minimal inhibitory concentration.

Figure 3 Mean cefuroxime concentration-time profiles for anastomosis and non-anastomosis ileum and colon. The dotted line represents the cefuroxime clinical breakpoint minimal inhibitory concentration for Escherichia coli (8 µg/mL). Bars represent 95% confidence interval.
