Computed tomography scan and distribution of the ventilation. Left side: Ventral ROI, right side: Dorsal ROI. SI-group: VT adjusted to SI between 0.95 and 1.05. Pplat-group: VT adjusted to Pplat = 30 cmH2O. Level 1: aortic arch, level 2: heart, level 3: main bronchi and level 4: just above the diaphragm. HU: Hounsfield units. ROIs, regions of interest.
