Box plot of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) from baseline prior to surgery to the 5. postoperative day. Red boxes represent patients, who underwent flow controlled ventilation (n = 20), while blue boxes represent patients of the historic group under pressure controlled ventilation (n = 56). FEV1 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 = 0.1070)
