Changes in core body temperature. There is no statistically significant difference between Group Z (zero end-expiratory pressure, blue box) and Group P (10 cmH2O of positive end-expiratory pressure, red stripe box) at each time point. In the vertical box plot, the median value is the horizontal line in the box and the upper/lower ends of the box indicate interquartile ranges.
T1: 30 minutes after tracheal intubation. T2: 60 minutes after tracheal intubation. T3: 90 minutes after tracheal intubation. T4: 120 minutes after tracheal intubation. T5: 150 minutes after tracheal intubation. T6: 180 minutes after tracheal intubation.
