Hypothermia predicts hepatic failure after extensive hepatectomy in mice

Figure 1 Hypothermia is associated with mortality in mice after 75% partial hepatectomy. A: Survival outcome of mice that underwent either sham laparotomy (top solid line) or 75% partial hepatectomy (PH) (line with circles); B: Change in body temperature (BT) after 75% PH separated by survival outcome retrospectively. At 24 and 48 h after surgery, the BT of mice that finally died was significantly lower than that of mice that survived (P = 0.0001).
