Figure 5

Regional distribution of nonaerated lung tissue. End-expiratory distribution of nonaerated tissue 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 lung volume (gas and tissue) 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. *P < 0.05 between ventilatory groups (post hoc results given only if significant).
