Figure 10

The PaO2/FIO2 ratio, PaCO2 , and dynamic compliance plots of the five patients for the MRS implemented with a PEEPmaxvalue of 31 cm H2O and a PEEPendvalue of 16 cm H2 O. MRS, maximum recruitment strategy; PaCO2, partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide; PaO2/FIO2, ratio of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood to fraction of oxygen in inspired air; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; PEEPend, PEEP value at the end of simulation; PEEPmax, maximum PEEP during a recruitment maneuver.
