Figure 2. Ventilator and oxygenation parameters .

A, tidal volume (V T) delivered did not differ between Vent and Vent+EPO lambs for the duration of ventilation. B, tissue oxygenation index (TOI; measured using NIRS) was higher in Vent+EPO lambs compared to Vent lambs between 6 and 13 min during high V T delivery but there was no difference thereafter. Data are presented as means ± SEM. #Significant difference (P < 0.05) between Vent and Vent+EPO groups.
