Fig. 3From: Homogenizing effect of PEEP on tidal volume distribution during neurally adjusted ventilatory assist: study of an animal model of acute respiratory distress syndromeRespiratory rate. Mean respiratory rate is presented for incremental and decremental PEEP levels. During ZEEP, the animals were breathing very rapidly during both initiation and termination of the experiment. As PEEP was gradually increased, the respiratory rate decreased. Black dots represent incremental PEEP levels and transparent circles represent decremental PEEP levels. Standard deviation is presented as error bars. Trend line and correlation equation is presentedBack to article page
