From: Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared with conventional tidal volumes for patients without acute lung injury: a preventive randomized controlled trial

Figure 3

Serial data on respiratory values and lung-injury score of patients ventilated with conventional tidal volume (solid circles) or lower tidal volumes (open circles). PaO2 partial pressure of arterial oxygen; PaCO2 partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide; PF = ratio of PaO2 to fraction of inspired oxygen; LIS lung injury score. The number of patients was 74 versus 76 (conventional versus lower tidal volumes), 55 versus 63, and 34 versus 34, respectively, at T = 0, T = 2, and T = 4 days. *P < 0.05; #P = 0.06 (Interaction time × Group).
