Table 1 Adult Experimental protocol: The timeline reads from top to bottom. APL adjustable pressure limiting valve, FGF fresh gas flow, MV manual ventilation, VT tidal volume, PEEP positive endexpiratory pressure, RR respiratory rate, I:E inspiratory:expiratory ratio, Tinsp inspiratory time, PCV pressure controlled ventilation, PSV pressure support ventilation, VCV volume controlled ventilation

From: Rebounds of sevoflurane concentration during simulated trigger-free pediatric and adult anesthesia
