From: Spontaneous breathing with airway pressure release ventilation favors ventilation in dependent lung regions and counters cyclic alveolar collapse in oleic-acid-induced lung injury: a randomized controlled computed tomography trial

Figure 4

Regional distribution of end-expiratory gas volume. End-expiratory distribution of gas in diaphragmatic slices between a nondependent region of interest (ROI) and a dependent ROI during airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) with or without spontaneous breathing (+SB/-SB). Data presented as the percentage (mean ± standard error of the mean) of the total gas volume of voxels for each ROI. n.s., not significant. #P < 0.05, interaction of factor ROI with factor ventilatory mode, suggesting that the ventilatory mode has a significant influence on the regional distribution of end-expiratory gas volume and nonaerated lung tissue.
