HTV ventilation markedly increased lavage content of WBC versus the LTV group. HTV ventilation increases percent neutrophils in BALF.

SOD treatment during HTV ventilation markedly reduced total white blood cells and the percentage of neutrophils in BALF (* and # signify P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively)
