NVariable not normally distributed, tested with Shapiro-Wilk Goodness of Fit test for normality.
TVariable transformed to normalize data. 1/exp(x): pH, Log(x): tCO2, Lactate, 1/sqrt(x): BUN, 1/x: Hct, Hb
†Statistical significance between each pair t-test (alpha=0.05), p-value provided on second row
CVariable failed to reach normal distribution, Chi-square value and probability provided
MVariable unable to reach normal distribution, Mann-Whitney ranked score test performed
*PCV measured from centrifuge, Hct measured by iSTAT machine
Abbreviations: pO2: partial pressure oxygen, sO2: saturated oxygen, pCO2: partial pressure carbon dioxide, HCO3: bicarbonate, tCO2: total carbon dioxide, BEecf: base excess, Na+: sodium, K+: potassium, Cl-: chloride, BUN: blood urea nitrogen, Hct: hematocrit, Hb: hemoglobin
