Alveolar Recruitment and PEEP-induced Inflation
PEEP-related total volume (PEEPvol) was computed as the difference between end-expiratory lung volume at higher PEEP (EELVVRecruited volume was then normalized to the change in PEEP (Crec = VRecruitment-to-inflation ratio = Crec/CrsThe same parameters were also computed across the whole tested PEEP range by using 15 cm H
