Overall respiratory compliance (Crs) and restoration pressures (Pres) measured.
| Crs (L/kPa) | Pres (kPa) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up-Air | Sup-Air | Sup-Imm | Up-Imm | Sup-Air | Sup-Imm | Up-Imm | |
| Median | 1.68 | 1.12 | 1.06 | 0.66 | 0.46 | 0.87 | 1.42 |
| Mean | 1.77 | 1.25 | 0.97 | 0.75 | 0.46 | 0.87 | 1.43 |
| SD | 0.31 | 0.60 | 0.31 | 0.28 | 0.17 | 0.22 | 0.52 |
Individual values for each subject are available in “Supplementary Information” files.
Median values are shown with mean and standard deviation. Statistical significance was determined using Friedman’s test (4 conditions) and Dunn’s post-hoc test for comparisons between two conditions.
Compliance of the overall respiratory system (combined lung and chest wall) (Crs): Friedman p < 0.001; Up-Air vs Sup-air: NS; Sup-Air vs Sup-Imm: NS; Up-Air vs Sup-Imm: p < 0.01; Sup-Air vs Up-Imm: p < 0.001; Up-Air vs Up-Imm: p < 0.001.
Restoring pressure (Pres): Friedman p < 0.001; Sup-Imm vs Sup-Air: p < 0.05; Up-Imm vs Sup-Imm: p < 0.01; Up-Imm vs Sup-Air: p < 0.05.
