Table 2. Pooled Data of the Ventilatory Setting, Airway Pressure and Blood Gases Measured at the End of the Different Ventilatory Periods

Data are mean ± SD; n = 20.

RR = respiratory rate; V^T= tidal volume; I/E ratio = inspiratory-to-expiratory ratio; P^aw= airway pressure; CMV = controlled mechanical ventilation; HFJV = high-frequency jet ventilation; Pa^CO2= carbon dioxide partial pressure; Pa^O2= oxygen partial pressure; FI^O2= fraction of inspired oxygen.

*P < 0.05 compared with CMV.
