Note that the baseline values are after the standardization procedure (see text). ETS+LR, endotracheal suctioning followed by a lung recruitment manoeuvre; ETS-LR, endotracheal suctioning without a following lung recruitment manoeuvre; FiO2, fractional inspired oxygen; set PEEP; set positive end-expiratory pressure; Intrinsic PEEP, PEEP above set PEEP after an expiratory hold; Vt, tidal volume. |
