Fig. 1From: Pressure-support compared with pressure-controlled ventilation mitigates lung and brain injury in experimental acute ischemic stroke in ratsA Timeline representation of the experimental protocol. Respiratory system mechanics, arterial blood gases, and echocardiography were evaluated at the INITIAL and FINAL time points. B Schematic flowchart of the study design. BGA, blood gas analysis; ECHO, echocardiography; FDA, functional data acquisition; FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; PCV, pressure-controlled ventilation; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; PSV, pressure-support ventilation; VT, tidal volumeBack to article page
