  1. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 between the two procedures. CVP, central venous pressure; ETS+LR, endotracheal suctioning followed by a lung recruitment manoeuvre; ETS-LR, endotracheal suctioning without a following lung recruitment manoeuvre; HR: heart rate; MAP, mean systemic arterial pressure.
