Model outputs for Patient D under the recruitment maneuvers given in Figure 1 . The continuous lines are outputs for PEEP = 10 cm H2O and dashed lines are outputs for PEEP = 5 cm H2O. The plot has nine panels: (A) the partial pressure of O2 to fraction of inhaled O2 ratio (mmHg) under MRS-10 and MRS-5, (B) the partial pressure of O2 to fraction of inhaled O2 ratio (mmHg) under SI-10 and SI-5, (C) the partial pressure of O2 to fraction of inhaled O2 ratio (mmHg) under PRM-10 and PRM-5, (D) the partial pressure of CO2 in arterial blood (mmHg) under MRS-10 and MRS-5, (E) the partial pressure of CO2 in arterial blood (mmHg) under SI-10 and SI-5, (F) the partial pressure of CO2 in arterial blood (mmHg) under PRM-10 and PRM-5, (G) dynamic compliance of the lung (ml mbar−1) under MRS-10 and MRS-5, (H) dynamic compliance of the lung (ml mbar−1) under SI-10 and SI-5, (I) dynamic compliance of the lung (ml mbar−1) under PRM-10 and PRM-5. CO2, carbon dioxide; MRS, maximum recruitment strategy; O2, oxygen; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; PRM, prolonged recruitment maneuver; SI, sustained inflation.
