Figure 3

Dynamic compliance calculated using the least-square-fit method for the same patient as in Figure 1. Dashed-line indicates the optimized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level with respect to lung mechanics at 14 mbar where the compliance (C)-pressure curve reaches its maximum. A quasi-plateau phase in the curve is observed where the maximum relative change of compliance for 8 mbar pressure range is only 2% (relative to the maximum compliance value).
