Statistical comparison is made using unpaired t-test for continuous variables and χ2 test for categorical variables.
Bold values indicate statistical significance at the 5% level
BE, base excess (mEq/L); DBP, diastolic blood pressure; DCS, damage control surgery; HCO3, serum bicarbonate (mEq/L); HR, heart rate (per minute); RR, respiratory rate (per minute); SBP, systolic blood pressure; SpO2, oxygen saturation (%); pCO2, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (mm Hg); pO2, partial pressure of oxygen (mm Hg).
