From: Respiratory compliance but not gas exchange correlates with changes in lung aeration after a recruitment maneuver: an experimental study in pigs with saline lavage lung injury

Figure 4

Fractional changes in investigated parameters (means with confidence intervals). Cinf, maximum inflation compliance; Crs, static compliance of respiratory system; PaO2, arterial partial oxygen pressure; Pplat, plateau pressure; QVA/QT, venous admixture; VNON, nonaerated lung volume; VNORM, normally aerated lung volume; VPOOR, poorly aerated lung volume; Vrec, recruitable volume at PEEP.
