Table 3. Ventilation
All values are mean ± SD, including spontaneous breaths when present.
Baseline was only tested against Lung Injury. Post hoc testing was always performed if a significant F ratio for a factor or the interaction of factors was obtained by repeated-measures analysis of variance (*P < 0.05, †P < 0.01, ‡P < 0.001), but only significant differences are marked:§P < 0.05, ∥P < 0.01, #P < 0.001 for within-group differences and **P < 0.05 for between-group differences (post hoc Tukey multiple comparison test).
Paw.ei= end-inspiratory airway pressure; Paw.mean= mean airway pressure, Ptrans.mean= mean transpulmonary pressure; Paco2= arterial carbondioxide partial pressure; RR = respiratory rate, SB−/SB+= airway pressure release ventilation without/with spontaneous breathing, Te = expiratory time, Ti = inspiratory time, VE= minute ventilation, VT= tidal volume.
