From: Early fluid loading in acute respiratory distress syndrome with septic shock deteriorates lung aeration without impairing arterial oxygenation: a lung ultrasound observational study

Figure 5

Effects of fluid loading on arterial oxygenation in 32 patients with septic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Individual changes in arterial oxygen tension/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) are represented. Red dots represent median values. P = 0.005 at the top of the figure indicates a statistically significant difference between the three time points using Friedman repeated measures analysis of variance on the ranks. Comparisons between two time points were performed using the post hoc Tukey test. *P <0.05, baseline versus end of 1,000 mL fluid loading.
