Effects of different PEEP titration strategies on Ptpexp and Ptpinsp during supine and prone positioning. A Ptpexp evaluated according to different PEEP titration strategies during supine and prone positioning. B Ptpinsp evaluated according to different PEEP titration strategies during supine and prone positioning. Bars are means + SD of 40 patients with moderate to severe ARDS. Brackets denote statistically significant differences between PEEP titration strategies, p-values are shown above the brackets. PEEP positive end-expiratory pressure, PEEPARDSNetwork PEEP titrated according to the ARDS Network lower PEEP table, PEEPEstat,RS PEEP titrated according to the lowest elastance of the respiratory system, PEEPPtpexp PEEP titrated according to end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure, Ptpexp end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure, Ptpinsp end-inspiratory transpulmonary pressure
