Hounsfield unit (HU) distribution at intra-abdominal hypertension grade 3. Lung tissue aeration defined as non-aerated (HU 100 to − 100), poorly-aerated (HU − 101 to − 500), normally-aerated (HU − 501 to − 900), and overinflated (HU − 901 to − 1000) revealed significant differences in FCV (green line) compared to PCV (blue line). The amount of non- and poorly-aerated lung tissue was lower in FCV, normally-aerated and overinflated lung tissue were more frequent, indicating improved aeration with FCV
