Differences in ICP (A), RAP (B), EtCO2 (C), MP (D), TPPei (E) and TPPee (F) at baseline preceding interrupted and completed interventions. The data are presented with violin plots and boxplots. A. ICP (n = 8, median ICP = 17.1 (15.9 -19.7) mmHg) at the baseline in the interrupted interventions vs. completed interventions (n = 43, median ICP = 10.0 (4.6–13.3) mmHg). B. RAP at the baseline in the interrupted (n = 8, median RAP = 0.97 (0.86–1.18) vs. the completed (n = 41, median RAP = 0.42 (0.24–0.80) interventions. C. EtCO2 at baseline in interrupted (n = 8, median EtCO2 = 29.2 (25.5–30.9) mmHg) versus completed (n = 43, median EtCO2 = 31.1 (29.5–32.8) mmHg) interventions. D. MP at the baseline in interrupted (n = 7, median MP = 12.1 (10.1–13.0) J/min) vs. completed (n = 33, median MP = 8 (6.4—9.3) J/min) interventions. E and F. Neither TPPei and TPPee were significantly different between completed and interrupted events. ICP, intracranial pressure; RAP, compensatory reserve index; EtCO2, end-tidal partial pressure of CO2; MP, mechanical power; TPPei, transpulmonary pressure end inspiration, absolute; TPPee, transpulmonary pressure end expiration, absolute
