Fig. 4From: Heterogeneity of regional inflection points from pressure-volume curves assessed by electrical impedance tomographyResults: comparison between regionally derived parameters, global inflection points, and location of LIPrMAX and UIPrMIN. a Values expressed as median [IQR] of LIPrMAX, LIPrMIN, LIPrAVE, LIPg, UIPrMAX, UIPrMIN, UIPrAVE, UIPg, and ∆PrLIN. LIPrMAX and UIPrMIN were respectively different from LIPg and UIPg (Mann-Whitney unpaired t test). b Cumulative distribution of UIPrMIN and LIPrMAX position; ROI 1, non-dependent; ROI 1 + n, dependent lung. In 55% of the measurements, the UIPrMIN was positioned within the first five ROIs (non-dependent lung); in 75% of the measurements, the LIPrMAX was positioned within the last five ROIs (dependent lung)Back to article page
