From: The biological effects of higher and lower positive end-expiratory pressure in pulmonary and extrapulmonary acute lung injury with intra-abdominal hypertension

Figure 5

Alveolar collapse and hyperinflation in ALIp and ALIexp associated with IAH at different PEEP levels. Box encompasses 25th to 75th percentile, error bars encompass 10th to 90th percentile, and horizontal bar shows the median of eight animals in each group. ALI, acute lung injury. p, pulmonary. exp, extrapulmonary. IAH, intra-abdominal hypertension. Animals were ventilated with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5, 7, and 10 cmH2O. *Significantly different from PEEP5 (P <0.05). #Significantly different from PEEP7 (P <0.05).
