Figure 1From: Increasing the inspiratory time and I:E ratio during mechanical ventilation aggravates ventilator-induced lung injury in mice Schematic graphic of the respiratory cycle during I:E ratio of 1:2 and 1:1. In all I:E 1:1 groups, the inspiratory time was prolonged by adding an inspiratory hold after completion of lung inflation, thereby leaving pressure and flow acceleration during inspiration identical between the corresponding LVT and HVT 1:2 groups.Back to article page
