§Received at least one session of prone positioning. In 15 patients with COVID-19–related ARDS, personalized PEEP at the level of lowest relative alveolar overdistention and collapse, as measured with EIT, resulted in high PEEP. Definition of abbreviations: APACHE = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome; BMI = body mass index; CRP = C-reactive protein; CW = chest wall; DP = driving pressure; Exp = expiratory; Insp = inspiratory; MV = mechanical ventilation; N/A = not available; PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure; Pl = transpulmonary pressure; RS = respiratory system. Persisting spontaneous breathing efforts were prevented with increased sedation or neuromuscular blockade. Abbreviation to define. X��yIsɱ板�

At a total PEEP between 15 and 21 cm H2O, ventilation is mainly distributed to the center. The PEEP was reduced an additional 2 cm H2O to confirm a further increase in collapse. The percentages of relative alveolar overdistention and collapse are presented as well. Data were presented as medians and interquartile ranges (IQRs). These PEEP levels did not result in high driving pressure or transpulmonary pressure. However, we did find a significant correlation between PEEPset and BMI (ρ = 0.76; P = 0.001) (Figure 2B). << NASA,
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to test the difference between PEEPset and the absolute distance to either the PEEP–FiO2 table and to test the difference in PEEPset between the first and last PEEP trial (up to Day 7). h�bb�e`b``Ń3�
