Fig. 1
Total ion chromatograms of the intratracheal gas phase (a), intratracheal contents (mucus) (b) and femoral venous blood (c). The intratracheal gas phase sample shows n-nonane (C9), n-decane (C10), n-undecane (C11), n-dodecane (C12), n-tridecane (C13) and n-tetradecane (C14). C11–C14, n-pentadecane (C15), n-hexadecane (C16) and n-heptadecane (C17) are detected in the mucus sample. C10–C13 are identified in the femoral venous blood sample
