Box plot of the vital capacity (VC) from baseline prior to surgery to the 5. postoperative day. Red boxes represent patients under flow controlled ventilation (n = 20), while blue boxes represent patients of the historic group under pressure controlled ventilation (n = 56). Vital capacity is significantly decreased after surgery with a second nadir after 24 h and a return to baseline after 5 days. There is no difference between the groups over time (p = 0.2222)
