Lung size mismatch (predicted total lung capacity ratio) is associated with the mechanical ventilation tidal volumes at reperfusion, when the tidal volumes is related to the size of the allograft. Fractional polynomial regression of the TV in mL/kg donor-predicted body weight (PBW) plotted against the pTLCratio (pTLCdonor/pTLCrecipeint). The solid vertical bars represent the mean values of the TV in mL/kg donor-PBW according to pTLCratio-quintiles. Adapted with permission from Eberlein et al[14]. TV: Tidal volumes; pTLC: Predicted total lung capacity.
