Values for both APRV and HFOV at the time of the second blood gas after rescue. pCO₂: partial pressure of carbon dioxide; FiO₂: fractional inspired oxygen; P-high: pressure high; P-low: pressure low; PEEP: positive end-expiratory pressure; T-high: time high; T-low: time low; M_Paw: mean airway pressure.
