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 4

Oscillatory elastance (E X5 ), gas volume (Vgas) and percentage volume of non-aerated tissue (VtissNA%) as a function of pressure during the incremental (left panel) and decremental (right panel) positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) trial. Open symbols refer to end-inspiratory data points, closed symbols to end-expiratory ones. Dashed lines connect end-inspiration and end-expiration at the same PEEP step.
