Recurrent Recruitment Manoeuvres Improve Lung Mechanics and Minimize Lung Injury during Mechanical Ventilation of Healthy Mice
Figure 9
Lung mechanics with 6 cmH2O PEEP.
Mice were ventilated for six hours with low VT = 8 mL/kg, PEEP = 6 cmH2O and RM every five minutes (RM5), every 60 minutes (RM60) or without RM (noRM). Lung mechanics were measured with the forced oscillation technique every ten minutes. (n = 4 in all groups). Please see supplementary Table S2 for p-values of group comparisons.
