Changes in plateau pressure (Pplat), mean pressure (Pmean), and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) after implant of the pumpless extracorporeal lung assist device. a The respiratory rate was gradually increased before pumpless extracorporeal lung assist (pECLA) device implant, corresponding to the increase of airway pressure, and then decreased afterward. b Ventilation parameters for Pplat, Pmean, and PEEP every 30 min are illustrated. After implant of the pECLA device (arrow), Pplat was significantly reduced (p < 0.001), whereas PEEP was increased significantly (p < 0.001). Pmean remained unchanged
