Table 2. Respiratory, Hemodynamic, and Pharmacologic Variables of the Patients Completing the Study

ASV Group, n = 16; control Group, n = 20.

* A value different from the ASV group at the same step.

† A value different from the value at the previous step in the same group.

ASV = adaptive support ventilation; Ppeak = peak inspiratory pressure; RRV = respiratory rate; V^T= tidal expiratory volume;p  Ha = arterial p  H; Paco²= arterial partial carbon dioxide pressure; Pao²/Fio²= ratio of arterial partial oxygen pressure to inspiratory oxygen concentration; ABG = arterial blood gas.
