From: Physiological effects of lung-protective ventilation in patients with lung fibrosis and usual interstitial pneumonia pattern versus primary ARDS: a matched-control study

Fig. 1

Measured individual values of EL, PL,EE, PL,EI and ΔPL the matched study groups at ZEEP, PEEPLOW and PEEPTITRATED phase. When testing as an interaction for whether the change in physiological variables at different PEEP levels was different between AE-ILD-UIP and ARDS (dotted p-values line), statistical difference was found for EL (p < 0.001, panel A and B), PL,EI (p < 0.001, panel E and F, p < 0.00) and ΔPL (< 0.001, panel G and H). EL, lung elastance; PL,EI, end-inspiratory transpulmonary pressure; PL,EE, end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure; PL, transpulmonary driving pressure; ZEEP, zero positive end-expiratory pressure; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; AE-ILD-UIP, acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease with usual interstitial pneumonia pattern; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome
