Additional file 1: of Can ventilator settings reduce the negative effects of endotracheal suctioning? Investigations in a mechanical lung model

RR (Ventilator frequency), Vti (insp.tidal volume), Vte (exp. tidal volume), MVe (minute ventilaton), Pinsp (= PPEAK ventilator), Pmean (= PMEAN ventilator), Ventilator PEEP (= PEEP ventilator), Distal transducer Pinsp (= PPEAK model airways), Distal transducer PEEP (= PEEP model airways). Data are presented for each of the permutations listed in the methods section; before scope/catheter insertion (30 sec), after insertion (30 sec), during suctioning (30 sec) and after removal of the device (30 sec). Calculations are also listed in separate columns. (XLSX 522 kb)
