A Static PV curve derived from the super-syringe method (squares, grey dashed line) and ∆Q-LUSMGV (circles, solid black line). All data are represented as median (IQR). ∆Q-LUSMGV normalised to baseline. Open shapes represent the inflation limb and closed shapes the deflation limb. B Correlation between ∆Q-LUSMGV and total lung volume. AU arbitrary units, CI confidence interval, cm H2O centimetres of water, ml/kg, rho Spearman’s correlation co-efficient, Q-LUSMGV quantitative lung ultrasound mean grey value. Left axis: lung volume (ml/kg). Right axis: ∆Q-LUSMGV.
