Figure 3

Volume fraction of the lung occupied by normal pulmonary areas, collapsed alveoli, and hyperinflated structures. Each bar represents the mean + standard deviation (SD) of six rats in each group. *Significantly different from PCV non-Sigh (P <0.05); **significantly different from PCV-Sigh (P <0.05); #significantly different from PSV non-Sigh (P <0.05). ALIexp, extrapulmonary acute lung injury; ALIp, pulmonary acute lung injury; NS, non-sigh; PCV, pressure-controlled ventilation; PSV, pressure support ventilation.
