Figure 2From: Inhibition of breathing after surfactant depletion is achieved at a higher arterial PCO2 during ventilation with liquid than with gasLung mechanics and blood gases. Multipanel figure showing (A) transpulmonary pressure; (B) tidal volume; (C) lung compliance; (D) resistance; (E) arterial pH; (F) arterial pCO2 during gas ventilation (GV) before lavage and during GV and partial liquid ventilation after lavage in each cat (unbroken lines) and as mean (broken line).Back to article page
