Figure 4

The shape of intra-tidal dynamic compliance calculated with the SLICE method in the same patient as in Figures 1 and 2. An upward slope indicates recruitment, a downward slope indicates overdistension and a quasi-horizontal shape indicates that neither the recruitment nor the overdistension effect is dominant. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is optimized at 14 mbar in this patient according to the shape of the compliance (C)-volume curve.
