Measured individual values of specific elastance of EUIP and ARDS patients at each PEEP level. For EUIP patients specific elastance was 28.9 (24.8 – 33.2) cmH2O, 22.8 (16.6–27.8) cmH2O and 33.2 (28.8–41.6) cmH2O at ZEEP, PEEPLOW and PEEPTITRATED respectively. For ARDS patients specific elastance was 11.4 (11.1–14.5) cmH2O, 14.6 (7.9–22) cmH2O and 10.6 (9.5–12.2) cmH2O respectively. Specific elastance was different among group at each PEEP level. EUIP, Acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease with usual interstitial pneumonia pattern; ARDS, Acute respiratory distress syndrome.
