Figure 4

Neutrophilic infiltration. Number of neutrophils/field (400×) of the two ventilatory groups are exhibited: Group 1: tidal volume (VT) = 10 ml/kg and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) = 3 cmH2O (VT10/PEEP3). Group 2: VT = 20 ml/kg and PEEP = 0 cmH2O (VT20/zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP)). The results of the peri-atelectasis region (PeriAT) versus the contralateral lung region (C) are exhibited. Data are presented as medians and ranges. *P <0.05.
