Fig. 5: Change in tcpCO2 vs. lung recruitment metrics.

From: Preterm infants on high-frequency oscillatory ventilation: electrical impedance tomography during lung recruitment

Fig. 5

The difference in tcpCO2 (ΔtcpCO2) between the initial and closed CDP is shown in relation to the maximal change in MOR (a) and the S/F-ratio (b) for each lung recruitment maneuver. The numbers in the corners represent the number of lung recruitment maneuvers in each quadrant. CDP continuous distending pressure, MOR median of oscillatory impedance amplitudes within the aerated region, S/F-ratio ratio of peripheral oxygen saturation to the fraction of inspired oxygen, tcpCO2 transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide.
