Table. 1.

Summary of lung failure mechanisms in the different treatment groups. The table shows that the loss of blood flow through the lungs (elevated PVR) was the predominant lung failure mechanism, followed by the development of trachea edema.

The table shows that the loss of blood flow through the lungs (elevated pulmonary vascular resistance) was the predominant lung failure mechanism, followed by the development of trachea edema.
