Figure 3

Relationship between forced oscillatory airway resistance (Raw) and phase III slope of time capnogram (S T-III ) at PEEP levels of 3 (X), 6 (▼) and 9 cm H 2 O (▲) in patients with healthy lungs (Group HL), and in patients with respiratory symptoms with dynamic respiratory compliance (Crs) in the lowest tenth percentile (Group LC), with Crs between the tenth and ninetieth percentile (Group MC) and with Crs above the ninetieth percentile (Group HC). Thin grey lines denote individual patients; thick black lines with symbols show group mean and SE values.
