Values are expressed as mean ± SD or mean alone. (*): range. Tidal volume per kg of predicted body weight (70 kg), alveolar volume was calculated by subtracting 153 mL (2.2 mL/Kg) dead space volume from the average tidal volume. BPM: breaths per minute. DC: duty cycle or percent inspiration. PC mode choice includes adaptive PC, PC-CMV, and IMV. MV: minute ventilation. MVA: alveolar minute ventilation. PEEP: positive end expiratory pressure. |
