Effect of the I/E ratio on CO2 removal during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation with volume guarantee in a neonatal animal model of RDS.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
unlabelledThe objective of this study was to analyze the effect of I/E ratio on carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) combined with volume guarantee (VG). Five 2-day-old piglets were studied before and after a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). The effect of an I/E ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 with (VG-ON) and without VG (VG-OFF) on PaCO2, as well as delta and mean airway pressures at the airway opening (∆Phf-ao, mPaw-ao) and at the tracheal level (∆Phf-t, mPaw-t) were evaluated at frequencies of 5, 8, 11, and 14 Hz. With the VG-ON, PaCO2 was significant lower with the I/E ratio of 1:2 at 5 Hz compared with the 1:1. mPaw-t was higher than mPaw-ao, with 1:1 I/E ratio, and on VG-ON, this difference was statistically significant.
conclusion"In this animal study and with this ventilator, the I/E ratio of 1:1 compared to 1:2 in HFOV and VG-ON did not produce a higher CO2 lavage as when HFOV was used without the VG modality. Even more, a lower PaCO2 was found when using the lower frequency and 1:2 ratio compared to 1:1. So in contrast to non-VG HFOV mode, using a fixed tidal volume, no significant changes on CO2 elimination are observed during HFOV when the I/E ratios of 1:1 and 1:2 are compared at different frequencies." WHAT IS KNOWN: •The tidal volume on HFOV is determinant in CO 2 removal, and this is generated by delta pressure and the length of the inspiratory time. What is New: •HFOV combined with VG, an I/E ratio of 1:2 is more effective to remove CO 2 , and this is not related to the tidal volume.
