  • Th compares PaCO2-ValveDepl≤60 mm Hg and >60 mm Hg (201 total patients); PaCO2-%increase from baseline of ≤50% and >50% (194 total patients); and pH-ValveDepl≤7.2 and >7.2 (201 total patients).

  • PaCO2, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide; PaO2, arterial partial pressure of oxygen; ValveDepl, valve deployment.
