Data are presented as the median (interquartile range). a,bFriedman repeated measures analysis of variance on rank with all pairwise multiple comparison procedures (Student-Newman-Keuls method): aversus Tbaseline, bversus TALI (p < 0.05). cMann-Whitney rank sum test: p < 0.05 versus PCV+R. CB, blood clearance of indocyanine green; PCV, pressure-controlled ventilation; PCV+R, pressure-controlled ventilation with recruitment manoeuvre; PDR, plasma disappearance rate of indocyanine green; T6 h, time point 6 hours after randomisation; T18 h, time point 18 hours after randomisation; TALI, time point after lung injury; Tbaseline, baseline time point.
