Figure 3

Electrical impedance tomography reflecting regional ventilation distribution of dependent and non-dependent lung regions during PEEP trial. Illustrated are the supine group in (A) and prone group in (B). Dotted lines represent the non-dependent and broken lines the dependent lung regions. In (A), significant inner-group differences between non-dependent and dependent regions are marked by an asterisk at PEEP 20, 30 and 20d reflecting inhomogenous ventilation distribution. In the prone group (B), ventilation distribution is significantly different within the group at ALI_SP/PP and PEEP 10 and 10d, whereas it is homogenized at PEEP 20, 30 and 20d. *Significant inner-group differences p < 0.05.
