  • MAP, mean arterial pressure; Sham, anesthetized but not subjected to hemorrhagic shock; Shock+LRS, subjected to hemorrhagic shock and subsequently treated with LRS at a volume equal to three times that of the blood removed; Shock+Terli, subjected to hemorrhagic shock and subsequently treated with a 2 mg bolus of terlipressin; Shock30, 30 min after achieving the target MAP (immediately prior to treatment); Shock-only, subjected to hemorrhagic shock and left untreated; T120, 120 min after treatment; T30, 30 min after treatment; T60, 60 min after treatment.
