Figure 3

Dynamic compliance (right) and regional compliance measured at a caudal (left) and cranial (middle) thoracic lung levels at dependent orientation (dorsal) and nondependent orientation (ventral) regions of interest (ROIs). Regional compliance was calculated by dividing the electrical impedance tomography (EIT) tidal impedance variation by the applied driving pressure. Box and whisker plots: 95%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 5%. AU: arbitrary units.
