Table 2. Relationship between the thoraco-pulmonary compliance and the amount of Vt received.
Thoraco-pulmonary compliance (mL/cmH2O/kg) | Vt (mL/kg) |
---|---|
Less than 1 (< 1) | 9 (9–10.25) |
1–1.5 | 12.06 (11.11–13.33) |
1.5–2 | 15.57 (14.60–16.12) |
Greater than 2 (> 2) | 21 (16.6–25.9) |
Values expressed in median and interquartile range.
Vt, tidal volume.
