Figure 2. Mechanical parameters from the single compartment model.

The graphs compare the time courses of Newtonian resistance (R, panels A and B), tissue elastance (H, panels C and D) and the change in H (ΔH, panels E and F) during 60 min of ventilation using conventional ventilation (CV), conventional ventilation with large breaths (CV_LB), or variable ventilation (VV_N) in HCl-injured mice at PEEPs of 3 (left panels) and 6 cmH₂O (right panels). * denotes significant difference between CV and CV_LB as well as CV and VV_N at 60 min; # denote significant difference between CV and VV_N at 60 min. Additional significance levels are given in the text.
