Blood bacterial counts. Each symbol represents individual animals. Black lines are median values of 8 animals in each group. SAL-VCV: rats administered intratracheal saline and ventilated with volume-controlled ventilation; SAL-VV = rats administered intratracheal saline and ventilated with variable ventilation; PA-VCV = rats administered intratracheal Pseudomonas aeruginosa and ventilated with volume-controlled ventilation; PA-VV = rats administered intratracheal Pseudomonas aeruginosa and ventilated with variable ventilation. Comparisons were performed using two-way ANOVA followed by the Holm–Sidák post-hoc test (p < 0.05)
