From: Optimizing positive end-expiratory pressure by oscillatory mechanics minimizes tidal recruitment and distension: an experimental study in a lavage model of lung injury

Figure 2

Respiratory system resistance (Rrs), oscillatory elastance (E X5 ), percentage volume of non-aerated tissue (VtissNA%), lung gas volume (Vgas) at end-expiration (closed symbols) and at end-inspiration (open symbols) during the incremental and decremental positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) trial as a function of PEEP. Data are reported as mean and SD. Significance of differences between inspiration and expiration: *P <0.01, +P <0.05.
