Figure 3

Time course for PaCO 2 , PaO 2 /FiO 2 and VD/VT in experimental groups. Results are given as mean ± SD. * P < 0.05 between groups at the same time. #P < 0.05 compared with baseline within the same group. CV, control ventilation; FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; PaCO2, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide; PaO2, arterial partial pressure of oxygen; SB, spontaneous breathing; VD/VT, ratio of alveolar dead space to tidal volume.
