Portions of lung tissue classified as not aerated, poorly aerated, normally aerated and hyperinflated among PETCO2/PaCO2 ratio quartiles to the response of step increase of PEEP at 5, 15 and 45 cmH2O. The asterisk denotes p < 0.001 among the portions of tissue throughout PETCO2/PaCO2 ratio quartiles for Mann–Whitney test. The dollar denotes p < 0.001 among portions of lung tissue to the response to PEEP for Wilcoxon test
