Elastic pressure–volume curve. Elastic pressure–volume curve was obtained by performing a low-flow (4 L/min) inflation up to 35 cm H2O of airway pressure in three different conditions: PEEP 6: with a PEEP level of 6 cm H2O; ZEEP: with zero end expiratory pressure; PEEP 6 + CACC: with a PEEP level of 6 cm H2O and a concomitant continuous anterior chest compression by the mean of a positive pressure of 80 cm H2O applied on the anterior chest wall
