Respiratory mechanics in acute lung inflammation animals. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Comparisons among groups were performed using two-way ANOVA. (A) Peak airway pressure (Paw,p); (B) mean airway pressure (Paw,m); (C) peak transpulmonary pressure (PL,p); (D) mean transpulmonary pressure (PL,m); (E) elastance of the respiratory system (Ers); (F) resistance of the respiratory system (Rrs). I:E = inspiratory-to-expiratory; MV = mechanical ventilation; STPhigh = high levels of stress versus time product (I:E 2:1); STPlow = low level of stress versus time product (I:E 1:2); STPmid = middle level of stress versus time product (I:E 1:1).
