Gas exchange. Effects of high frequency inverse ratio pressure controlled ventilation (HFPPV) and moderately low VT and high PEEP ventilation (HP-CMV) on the ratio of arterial partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen ratio (PaO2/FiO2), venous admixture, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and pH. Data are shown as mean and standard deviation. For General Linear Model (GLM) statistics, logarithmic transformation was used for venous admixture and PaCO2
