Low VA/Q reflects lung units with a low VA/Q ratio; norm VA/Q reflects normal VA/Q lung units; high VA/Q reflects high VA/Q lung units; mean of Q reflects mean of the distribution of perfusion; logSDQ reflects logarithmic deviation of standard of the mean of the distribution of perfusion; RB reflects red Bull energy drink. Piglets (n = 8) received 10 mL/kg Red Bull at 0 min and 5 mL/kg at 150 min, respectively. Values are mean ± standard deviation.
