Text: Hyperoxic bypass resulted in higher levels of polymorphonuclear leukocyte elastase (377 + / - 34 vs 171 + / - 32 ng/ml, p = 0. 0001), creatine kinase 672 + / - 130 vs 293 + / - 21 U/L, p = 0. 002), lactic dehydrogenase (553 + / - 48 vs 301 + / - 12 U/L, p = 0. 003), antioxidants (1. 97 + / - 0. 10 vs 1. 41 + / - 0. 11 mmol/L, p = 0. 01), malondialdehyde (1. 36 + / - 0. 1 micromol/L, p = 0. 005), and nitrate (19. 3 + / - 2. 9 vs 10. 1 + / - 2. 1 micromol/L, p = 0. 002), as well as reduction in lung vital capacity (66 % + / - 2 % vs 81 % + / - 1 %, p = 0. 01) and forced 1-second expiratory volume (63 % + / - 10 % vs 93 % + / - 4 %, p = 0. 005) compared with normoxic management.
