  1. IPPV and ULTVV each describe the ventilation intervention during resuscitation. Sham refers to the control group, in which no cardiac arrest was induced and accordingly, no ventilation intervention either
  2. IPPV intermittent positive pressure ventilation, ULTVV ultra-low tidal volume ventilation, FiO2 inspired fraction of oxygen, I:E inspiratory to expiratory ratio, PEEP positive end-expiratory partial pressure
  3. *According to the desired target arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide of < 6 Kilopascal
