From: Is high-frequency oscillatory ventilation more effective and safer than conventional protective ventilation in adult acute respiratory distress syndrome patients? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Figure 2

Forest plots for the meta-analysis of mortality: (A) Meta-analysis of mortality at 28 or 30 days, and subgroup analyses stratified by the tidal volume of the conventional ventilation group (in which tidal volumes ≤8 ml/kg were used or not used). (B) Meta-analysis of mortality at 28 or 30 days, and subgroup analyses stratified by the plateau pressure of the conventional ventilation group (in which plateau pressure ≤35 cmH2O was used or not used). (C) Meta-analysis of ICU mortality. (D) Meta-analysis for oxygenation failure. (E) Meta-analysis of ventilation failure. (F) Meta-analysis for the duration of mechanical ventilation. (G) Meta-analysis of barotrauma. (H) Meta-analysis of hypotension. LPV, lung-protective ventilations.
