Schematic flowchart and timeline of the experimental protocol. NV non-ventilated, PCV pressure-controlled ventilation, PSV pressure support ventilation, V T tidal volume, FiO 2 fraction of inspired oxygen, ZEEP zero end-expiratory pressure, FDA functional data acquisition, BGA blood gas-analysis, Echo echocardiography, PEEP positive end-expiratory pressure, RT-PCR real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. T0—immediately after randomization; T2 and T4—2 and 4 h of mechanical ventilation after randomization, respectively
