Figure 2From: Lung recruitment manoeuvres are effective in regaining lung volume and oxygenation after open endotracheal suctioning in acute respiratory distress syndromeArterial partial oxygen tension (PaO2), expressed as percentage of baseline, at time points before (baseline) and after the two endotracheal suctioning procedures. Endotracheal suctioning (●) with and (○) without a following lung recruitment manoeuvre. Values are expressed as means ± SEM (bars). *P < 0.05 between the two procedures, §P < 0.05, within the procedures between the measurements.Back to article page
