Figure 5

Plateau pressure (Pplat) in PEEP 0 and PEEP 10 at T2–T5. PEEP 0: T2 versus T3, T2 versus T4, T2 versus T5, T3 versus T4, and T4 versus T5; all p < 0,003. PEEP 10: T2 versus T3, T2 versus T4, T2 versus T5, T3 versus T4, and T4 versus T5; all p < 0,006. PEEP 0 versus PEEP 10: T2–T5; all p < 0,029.
