Response to decremental PEEP steps on tidal impedance change in patients with or without lung disorders. During pressure-controlled ventilation with constant driving pressure, the tidal impedance change per pixel can be regarded as regional compliance change per pixel. The percentage positive of the total Δtidal impedance is calculated from the total increase and total decrease in each Δfunctional EIT image. Data are presented as median and interquartile range.
