Table 3.

Haemodynamic parameters at baseline and 2 min after the two different suction procedures

ETS+LR ETS-LR
Parameter Baseline 2 min after ETS + LR Baseline 2 min after ETS-LR
HR (beats/min) 90 ± 8 96 ± 9* 90 ± 7 91 ± 7
CVP (mmHg) 15 ± 4 18 ± 5 15 ± 4 15 ± 4
MAP (mmHg) 76 ± 8 68 ± 8 76 ± 9 72 ± 10

Values are expressed as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 between the two procedures. CVP, central venous pressure; ETS+LR, endotracheal suctioning followed by a lung recruitment manoeuvre; ETS-LR, endotracheal suctioning without a following lung recruitment manoeuvre; HR: heart rate; MAP, mean systemic arterial pressure.
