Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation. §Values reported as median and range because they were not normally distributed. Np: not performed. †significantly different (p<0.05) from 30D; ‡significantly different (p<0.05) from 30L; ¤significantly different (p<0.05) from 15L; #significantly different (p<0.05) from 15D; *significantly different (p<0.05) from T1. 15D: low pressure-low volume MV in dorsal recumbency; 30D: high pressure-high volume MV in dorsal recumbency; 15L: low pressure-low volume MV in lateral recumbency; 30L: high pressure-high volume MV in lateral recumbency; T0: at the beginning of mechanical ventilation; T1: after 60 minutes of mechanical ventilation; RR: respiratory rate; VT: tidal volume; PIP: peak inspiratory pressure; ETCO2: end-tidal carbon dioxide; ETISO: end-tidal isoflurane; HR: heart rate; MAP: mean arterial blood pressure; PaO2: arterial partial pressure of oxygen; PaCO2: arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide; SpO2: saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen; PAO2: alveolar partial pressure of oxygen; BE: base excess; HCO2-: bicarbonate
