Fig. 3From: Continuous venovenous hemofiltration decreases mortality and ameliorates acute lung injury in canine model of severe salt water drowningLight 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 tissueBack to article page
