CONCLUSIONS: Variable ventilation based on a physiological respiratory pattern, compared to conventional pressure-controlled ventilation, reduced global and regional inflammation in both healthy and injured lungs of juvenile rabbits. Conversely, ventilating the lungs with PVV resulted in a significant decrease in tissue damping in control animals (T1-T5, p < 0.01), whereas no change in respiratory mechanics was detected in the ARDS model. In the present study, a combined approach consisting of lung functional and structural assessment was used to investigate differences in the global and regional effects of PVV and the conventional monotonous pressure-controlled mode in a pediatric model of normal lungs and ARDS. ./cache/cord-034469-ew90eef4.txt ./txt/cord-034469-ew90eef4.txt
