From: Bedside measurement of changes in lung impedance to monitor alveolar ventilation in dependent and non-dependent parts by electrical impedance tomography during a positive end-expiratory pressure trial in mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients

Figure 3

Changes in regional compliance in patients without (left) and patients with (right) lung disorders. During pressure-controlled ventilation with constant driving pressure, the tidal impedance change per pixel can be regarded as regional compliance change per pixel. The open triangle represents the dependent lung region and the open circle represents the non-dependent lung region at the different used PEEP levels. Data are presented as mean and SEM. Significance: * P <0.05; ** P <0.01.
