Hazard ratios for death in the Bayesian network meta-analysis versus high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV). Hazard ratios are estimated from a fixed-effects Bayesian network meta-analysis. *95% confidence interval (CI) for the Bayesian network meta-analysis does not contain 1. A/C, assist-control ventilation; A/C + VG, assist-control plus volume-guarantee ventilation; A/C + VG + RM, assist-control plus volume-guarantee ventilation with recruitment maneuver; CMV, continuous mandatory ventilation; HFFIV, high-frequency flow interrupted ventilation; HFOV, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation; IMV, intermittent mandatory ventilation; PSV, pressure support ventilation; PSV + VG, pressure support ventilation with volume-guarantee ventilation; PTV, patient-triggered ventilation; SIMV, synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation; SIMV + PSV, synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation with pressure support ventilation; SIMV + VG, synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation with volume-guarantee ventilation; SIPPV + VG, synchronized intermittent positive pressure ventilation plus volume-guarantee ventilation; V-C, volume-controlled (through adjusting the delivered tidal volume).
