From: Intracranial pressure responsiveness to positive end-expiratory pressure is influenced by chest wall elastance: a physiological study in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage

Fig. 2

Elastance of the lung, the chest wall and the respiratory system at different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels. a Elastance measured at a PEEP level of 5 cm H2O. Chest wall elastance (ECW) was significantly increased in responders compare with that in non-responders. There were no significant differences in respiratory system elastance (ERS) and lung elastance (EL) between the two groups. b The change of EL, ECW and ERS during the adjustment of PEEP. No significant difference was observed between the two groups. c EL, ECW and ERS measured at a PEEP level of 15 cm H2O. ECW remained significantly increased in responders compared with that in non-responders. There were no significant differences in ERS and EL between the two groups
