Assessment of the mechanical ventilation in rodents is widely performed using a mechanical ventilator for small animals (SAV). One of the main adjustable parameters in SAV is tidal volume, typically 10 mL/kg, which is configured in relation with the animal body weight. Traditionally, the preset TLC maneuver is used for alveolar recruitment; this study aims to explore the data from TLC to screen the relative lung volume in Balb/c mice, in order to analyze its relationship to the body weight of mice. The TLC maneuver allowed us to measure the relative delivered lung volume from PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) to 30 cm H2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

In overall, one hundred twenty-four (124) 13–20 week-old Balb/c mice were used, animals were split into two groups using mean value of the body weight (24g) as a cutoff point. Group H (n =51) had animals with body weight higher than the mean value, while mice with lower body weight belonged to group L (n = 73). Significant positive correlation was found within animals in the group H (r = 0.6137); conversely, animals in group L did not present correlation for relative volume and body weight (r≈0\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Results suggest that tidal volume apparently depends on recruitment volume or compliance instead of the mice body weight.
