Text: High-flow insufflation decreased the mean (+ / - SEM) minute ventilation (Ve) by 20 % from 8. 37 + / - 0. 49 to 6. 66 + / - 0. 57 L/min, the mean respiratory rate from 19. 2 + / - 0. 9 to 15. 7 + / - 1. 0 breaths/min, while mean expiratory time increased from 2. 0 + / - 0. 1 to 2. 8 + / - 0. 2 s, and end-expiratory lung volume decreased by 0. 55 + / - 0. 15 L compared to low-flow oxygen insufflation (p < 0. 05 for all comparisons).
