Variation of minute ventilation in function of variation of driving pressure. In this figure, the minute ventilation (VE) varies in function of the variation of driving pressure ΔP (ΔΔP) with (1) fixed respiratory rate to 10 breaths/min on the left, and (2) variable respiratory rate according to the formula by Costa et al. on the right. Basal VE is assumed to be 7 ml/kg of predicted body weight (70 kg) multiplied by 10 breaths/minute = 4.9 L/min
