Values in mean ± standard deviation; Statistical P values according to linear mixed-effects repeated measures ANOVA with within subject factors: mode of ventilation (volume or flow-controlled ventilation) and time of therapy in minutes; and between subject factors group of therapy (normovolaemia or hypovolaemia) and randomisation sequence (volume or flow-controlled ventilation first). Significance was accepted for P < 0.05. Statistical analysis was performed in R Statistical programming language and the package lme4
