Fig. 2

Variation of Pplat_L, Cstat_L, and DP_L with the different study phases and ΔPEEP. Each boxplot shows the median, 1st, and 3rd quartile of the variable value. Phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 are depicted in red, blue, and black, respectively. Not all variables could be measured for each ΔPEEP level because of the fixed PEEP range explored in the decremental PEEP trial and the varying best PEEP value for each patient. The number of patients with available ΔPEEP values is displayed in the figure. Abbreviations: PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; Pplat, plateau pressure; L, lung; Cstat, static compliance; DP, driving pressure. The dotted vertical line identifies the ΔPEEP 0 cmH2O value. *p < 0.05 of the pairwise comparison between phase 2 vs. phase 1 within each PEEP level
