Light microscopy of lung tissue from sea water drowning animals. Lungs were obtained from control and CVVH treated animals 4 hours and 15 minutes after involuntary intratracheal infusion of sea water. Tissues were processed for hematoxylin and eosin staining. a. Representative lung slide from control group (×200). Red blood cells were widely present inside capillary and aveoli. Aveolar structures were distorted (arrow). b. Representative lung slide from CVVH treated group (×200). There was an area with well preserved aveolar structures (arrow). Red blood cells were barely seen in the tissue
