Figure 5

Intratidal gas distribution (ITV) index at varying positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels for the individual patients. Mean ITV index is shown as a percentage of 1. Here, the value 100% indicates that both lung regions are equally ventilated. Values >100% indicate that ventilation is predominantly distributed to the non-dependent region whereas values <100% indicate that the dependent lung region is predominantly at that PEEP level.
