Figure 1From: Biphasic positive airway pressure minimizes biological impact on lung tissue in mild acute lung injury independent of etiologySchematic flowchart of study design. ALIexp: extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome; ALIp: pulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome; BIVENT: biphasic positive airway pressure at different rates of time-cycled controlled breaths (100, 75 and 50 breaths/min); E. coli LPS: Escherichia coli O55:B5 lipopolysaccharide; i.p.: intraperitoneal; i.t.: intratracheal; NV: nonventilated; PCV: pressure-controlled ventilation.Back to article page
