Lung inhomogeneities and PEEP. The extent of lung inhomogeneity of the individual patients with moderate ARDS (left panel), severe ARDS without ECMO (middle panel), and severe ARDS with ECMO (right panel) is reported at PEEP 5 (red circles) and 15 cmH2O (blue circles) * p < 0.05 between PEEP 5 and 15 cm H2O of the same category of severity. Lung inhomogeneities are registered to the following patent: WO 2013/088336, and agreement to use this patent for research purposes was obtained from the owner (Fondazione IRCCS Ca’ Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico). ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome, ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, MODERATE, moderate ARDS, PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure, SEVERE, severe ARDS without ECMO, SEVERE ECMO, severe ARDS under ECMO.
