Figure 3

Calculation of the slope of the change in global impedance minima per 1 cmH 2 O during the positive end-expiratory pressure wave in one of the studied patients. Each data point represents the global impedance minimum of one breath at the corresponding positive end-expiratory pressure value. The dotted line shows the result of the linear regression fit (“best-fit line”). The dashed lines indicate the investigated pressure range. rel.∆Z: Relative impedance change.
