Ppl (Intrapleural pressure) and Paw (airway pressure) with each intervention. a. Ppl mean; b. Ppl decompression; c. Paw mean; d. Paw decompression. Error bar represents SEM. * denotes p < 0.05 for STD vs. (ACD, ACD ITD, ACD ITPR). + denotes p < 0.05 for ACD vs. (ACD ITD, ACD ITPR). § denotes p < 0.05 for ACD-ITD vs. ACD-ITPR. P values for linear trend were all < 0.05. STD, standard; ACD, active compression decompression, ITD, impedance threshold device; ITPR, intrathoracic pressure regulator
