  1. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) severity was assessed according to the Berlin definition [20]. ETT: Endotracheal tube; TT: Tracheostomy tube; ID: Inner diameter; MV duration: Days of mechanical ventilation prior to the study, with the day of study procedure included; Postop.: Patients without pulmonary pathology examined after scheduled major surgery.
