  1. VTE expiratory tidal volume, N.S not significant, ΔP driving pressure, PIF peak inspiratory flow, PEF peak expiratory flow, Crs respiratory system compliance, RCexp expiratory time constant, Rinsp inspiratory airway resistance, Rexp expiratory airway resistance
  2. *P values (Student t test) are for comparisons between PSV, PCV, and VCV. Data are shown as means ± standard deviation and are the results of eight measurements/case
