Volumes of well-aerated, poorly aerated and non-aerated lung determined with quantitative computed tomography at functional residual capacity and at end inspiration in anaesthetised mechanically ventilated sheep. Data presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. FRC = functional residual capacity; LPS = lipopolysaccharide group (n = 8); LPS+inhAPC = LPS group treated with aerosolised inhaled recombinant human activated protein C (n = 8); Sham = sham-operated group (n = 8). * P < 0.05 between LPS and LPS+inhAPC groups.
