Text: MAP and central venous oxygen saturation were increased by increasing the dose of norepinephrine [median (range) (microg/kg/min) : 0. 07 (0. 00-0. 60) and 0. 18 (0. 11-1. 00) at MAPs of 65 and 85 mmHg, respectively], whereas the metabolic markers were unaffected [luminal concentrations (mmol/l) of L-lactate in the rectum of 1. 9 (0. 8-6. 4) and 1. 8 (0. 9-5. 7) (P = 0. 94) and in the stomach of 1. 1 (0. 1-10. 0) and 1. 3 (0. 3-9. 7) (P = 0. 88) at MAPs of 65 and 85 mmHg, respectively].
