The RR intervals were recorded before, during and after alveolar recruitment manoeuvre (ARM), along with blood pressure (BP), oxygen arterial pressure (PaO?), oxygen inspired fraction (FiO</span><span><sub>2</sub></span><span>) heart rate (HR), oxygen peripheral saturation (SpO?), compliance (Comp), resistance (Res), and PaO?/FiO? ratio. HRV was analysed by using linear time-domain (TD) and non-linear methods. The former consisted of RMSSD (root mean square of squares of differences between successive R-Ri values) and SDNN (standard deviation of the mean of normal R-Ri values) in the frequency domain (FD) regarding low (LF) and high frequency (HF) bands as well as LF/HF ratio, whereas the latter consisted of short- (SD1) and long-term (SD2) records, and de-trended fluctuation analysis of short- (DFA?1) and long-term (DFA?2) duration. </span></p><p><span><strong>Results:</strong> We found significant increases in the variables Comp and PaO?/FiO? compared to the rest period, and in SatO? at the end of ARM. In addition,  recovery and decreased Res were also found at the end of ARM compared to the rest period. HRV showed a significant increase in index DFA?1 during ARM as well as a tendency of decrease in RMSSD and increase in SDNN, including increase in SD1, SD2, and DFA?2 as well. </span></p><p><span><strong>Conclusion: </strong>HRV undergoes changes in response to ARM with a tendency of decrease in the parasympathetic activity and increase in the total variability during ARM.</span></p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Respiratory and CardioVascular Physical Therapy}, author={Borghi-Silva, Audrey and das Chagas, Gustavo Rodrigues and Borges, Viviany Mendes and Reis, Michel Silva and de Carvalho, Eliane Maria}, year={2016}, month={Sep.}, pages={30–39} }
