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 3

End-inspiratory (open symbols) and end-expiratory (closed symbols) oscillatory elastance (E X5 ) and dynamic elastance (Edyn). Edyn has been computed over the whole breath (grey triangles, dashed line) and intra-tidal, at the highest (open circles, solid lines) and at the lowest (closed circles, solid line) portion of tidal volume. Data are reported as mean and SD. Significance of differences between inspiration and expiration: *P <0.01, +P <0.05.
