Adjustment of target minute ventilation (%MinVol) during ventilation with either mode. End-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (etCO2) and current minute ventilation (V̇E) during stable baseline conditions were documented. During ventilation with either mode, %MinVol was adjusted according to the protocol in order to keep etCO2 within a range of baseline etCO2 ± 2 mmHg. AVM, adaptive ventilation mode with selection of respiratory rate and tidal volume according to Otis’ equation; AVM2, adaptive ventilation mode with selection of respiratory rate and tidal volume to minimize inspiratory power; ABG, arterial blood gas analysis
