Abstract
Significant differences were found: TV decreased from control values to FC and from FC to FIP, but increased from FC to FEP. RR values increased from control to FC and from FC to FIP, but decreased from FC to FEP. MV values decreased from FC to FEP. TV, RR, and MV were not changed under oxygen administration. Hypoxemia or hypercapnia were not observed. It was concluded that FIP is deleterious for respiratory mechanics, whereas FEP improves ventilatory parameters.Keywords
