Plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured at the completion of both 6 (A) and 9 (B) h of prolonged MV. Note that plasma IL-6 levels were not measured following 12 h of MV because of inadequate sample availability. Values are means ± SE. Note that no significant group differences existed in plasma IL-6 levels at either time point.
