From: Effect of a lung recruitment maneuver by high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in experimental acute lung injury on organ blood flow in pigs

	20 mbar mean airway pressure		25 mbar mean airway pressure		30 mbar mean airway pressure

Right ventricle	163 ± 72	208 ± 80	206 ± 88	221 ± 66	172 ± 86	209 ± 80
Kidneys	293 ± 89	265 ± 88	258 ± 102	298 ± 80	276 ± 102	240 ± 37

Organ blood flow was unchanged when the mean airway pressure increased and no differences were found between high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV). Data presented as the mean ± standard deviation.
