Short courses of mechanical ventilation with high-O2 levels in elderly rat lungs Ventilação mecânica de curta duração com altos níveis de O2 em pulmões de ratos idosos
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of mechanical ventilation (MV) of high-oxygen concentration in pulmonary dysfunction in adult and elderly rats. METHODS: Twenty-eight adult (A) and elderly (E), male rats were ventilated for 1 hour (G-AV1 and G-EV1) or for 3 hours (G-AV3 and G-EV3). A and E groups re...
