Results of minute V̇ and EtCO2 of a rabbit (n = 1) during mechanical ventilation with the FALCON for 5 min at varying target RRs (30, 40, 60, and 120 breaths/min) with constant pressure settings (PIPtarget = 11 cm H2O; PEEPtarget = 3 cm H2O). Minute V̇ presented is the mean minute V̇ from each full 5-min period. EtCO2 presented is the mean EtCO2 for the last minute of each 5-min ventilation period. Error bars, where present, indicate standard deviation. EtCO2 end tidal carbon dioxide, PEEPtarget target positive end expiratory pressure, PIPtarget target peak inspiratory pressure, RR respiratory rate, V̇ ventilation
