FiO – fraction of inspired oxygen; HCO3 – bicarbonate; PaO – arterial partial pressure of oxygen, PEEP – positive end-expiratory pressure. Only the worst or the worst recorded values of paO, lactate, PEEP and body temperature are presented for day 1, 2 and 3. Sample size might be smaller due to non-survivors or missing data in day 1, 2 and 3. Numerical data are presented as mean (SD).
