From: Effects of sigh during pressure control and pressure support ventilation in pulmonary and extrapulmonary mild acute lung injury

Figure 5

Electron microscopy of diaphragm specimens in ALIp and ALIexp. Photomicrographs are representative of data obtained from diaphragm sections of five animals per group. Sigh did not affect the diaphragmatic damage induced by LPS; however, in ALIp, PSV led to less damage than PCV. ALIp, pulmonary acute lung injury; ALIexp, extrapulmonary acute lung injury; LPS, Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide; Mi, mitochondria; PCV, pressure-controlled ventilation; PSV, pressure support ventilation; Z, Z-disk.
