Airway pressures and PaO2 / FiO2 ratio after initiation of the OLC. Peak airway pressure, Pmean, PEEP and PaO2 / FiO2 ratio as a function of time. The OLC is initiated at T0, i.e. at referral. Mean values and standard deviations are shown. Note that PEEP values are set PEEP levels at the mechanical ventilator. The depicted driving pressure is overestimated as intrinsic PEEP is not shown. FiO2 fraction of inspired oxygen, PaO2 partial pressure of arterial oxygen, Ppeak peak airway pressure, Pmean mean airway pressure, PEEP positive end-expiratory pressure
