Text: Extended EIP decreased PaCO2 (62 + / - 13 vs. 67 + / - 13 torr [8. 26 + / - 1. 73 vs. 8. 93 + / - 1. 73 kPa] with 0. 2 secs EIP, p <. 01), which resulted in a higher pH (7. 22 + / - 0. 10 vs. 7. 19 + / - 0. 09 with 0. 2 secs EIP, p <. 01) and contributed to a slight increase in arterial hemoglobin saturation (94 + / - 3 vs. 93 + / - 3 % with 0. 2 EIP, p <. 01).
